Tuition Assistance (TA) is a program offered by the Department of Defense to encourage servicemembers to attend courses delivered by accredited civilian educational institutions on campus, at military installations, or through distance learning during off-duty times. TA should be used for classes that help you move toward an academic degree that will support your long-term career goals.
Active duty Marines are authorized up to $4,500 every fiscal year (OCT 1 - SEP 30) to help pay for the cost of tuition. TA is capped at $250 per semester hour or $166.67 per quarter hour. TA does not cover fees or books.
