Tuition Assistance for Marines

Week of July 07, 2008

Marine Tuition Assistance is a government-funded program designed to aid enlisted Marines on active duty, or enlisted reservists on continuous active duty, who pursue a college degree. Officers with two years of active service remaining on their contract are also eligible. Using TA, Marines can have 100 percent of their tuition paid, as long as they do not exceed their maximum funding per fiscal year. Marines receiving TA during fiscal 2008 can receive up to $4,500 as long as their courses cost no more than $250 per semester hour, or 15 hours of instruction. Marines must have a high school diploma or equivalent. For more information, contact your local Joint Education Center.
