Navy Relaxes Tuition Assistance Rules

Week of February 25, 2008

Restrictions on enlisted Sailor participation in Tuition Assistance (TA) and Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE) based on time in service and end of obligated service have been rescinded. The change was based on Sailor feedback and as a result of savings from management controls that were put in place in June 2007. Sailors that have less than 19 years time in service and meet all other requirements may participate in TA or NCPACE as long as course completions occur prior to separation from active duty. Sailors can provide feedback on Voluntary Education Program (VOLED) policies by sending feedback e-mails to voled@navy.mil. Learn more about this and other Navy Voluntary Education Programs.
