Hello! I'm in the military and thinking about furthering my education. Heard some good things about Thomas Edison State College. Can anybody tell me if they offer any tuition assistance or discounts for those serving in the military?
Yes, Thomas Edison State University does offer Military Tuition Assistance. In fact, it's known for providing flexible, high-quality, collegiate learning opportunities for self-directed adults, including those serving in the military. Its policies are especially military-friendly, and it has a large population of military learners.
Tuition Assistance is a benefit provided to eligible service members which can cover up to 100% of tuition expenses for courses taken during off-duty hours. The percentage of coverage, the amount per credit hour, or the total amount per fiscal year can vary based on different branches of the military. It's best to check with your Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor within your Military Service to confirm your eligibility.
Additionally, Thomas Edison State University offers a Military Degree Completion Program, which allows military students to earn an associate or bachelor's degree based on a combination of credits from military training, traditional courses, and exams.
That said, it's important to check all these details directly with Thomas Edison State University or with your service branch's education office to understand all the opportunities available to you.
