An eLearners Look at: Military Tuition Assistance

If you're an active duty or reservist in any branch of the military — Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard — you likely quality for some amount of military tuition assistance.

For example, nearly all active duty members going for their associate's or bachelor's degrees are entitled to $4,500 per year toward education — that's six free, three-credit classes per year!

We at eLearners put together three things to help you navigate the sometimes-confusing field of military tuition assistance:

1. The eLearners Armed Forces Tuition Assistance FAQ to answer many questions you might have regarding tuition assistance as it relates to YOU
2. The Active Duty Armed Forces Tuition Assistance page for TA information as it relates to active duty members of the Armed Forces
3. The Reserve Armed Forces Tuition Assistance page for TA information as it relates to reservists in the Armed Forces
