CAA can be used to pay up to $3,000 in tuition and fees for one year, and may be renewed for an additional year, for a total two-year amount of up to $6,000 per spouse. The program enables participants to earn a degree or credential in high-demand, portable fields at 18 installations located in 8 states.
