Coast Guard Tuition Assistance
Coast Guard Tuition Assistance assists eligible personnel—active duty, reserve, and civilian employees—in their professional development by providing funding for off-duty voluntary education courses to broaden their academic or Coast Guard technical background.
Payment
The maximum amount paid for tuition assistance: 100% Tuition
Not to exceed:
- $250 @ Semester Credit Hour, and
- $4500 @ Fiscal Year
Application Process
- The management of TA is centralized at the USCG Institute through a consolidated tuition assistance processing system managed by the U.S. Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC) in Pensacola, Florida.
- The Coast Guard Institute approves the TA Application (CG-4147), inputs data into the Navy's computer database, and issues the TA Authorization form (CGI-1560).
- The applicant then takes the CGI-1560 to the academic institution during registration; the institution bills the Navy (NETPDTC) for payment of the government's share of tuition assistance.
For additional information regarding tuition assistance please visit the Coast Guard tution assistance website.
