Have you checked out the cost of a college education lately? It’s getting more expensive all the time – especially for a quality online education. As the cost continues to increase each year, the $250 per semester credit-hour military tuition assistance program caps has remained the same. The result – many could see an increase in out-of-pocket expenses.
The value of an education will always out-weigh the cost, but most military servicemembers don’t have the cash to cover the increased costs. Fortunately, many schools – both online and on campus – helping to reduce, if not eliminate, out-of-pocket expenses by offering active-duty discounts, scholarships, and grants. These tuition rate reductions range from 15 – 20 percent off the civilian tuition rates and have the goal of reducing the tuition to match the current military tuition rates.
Be sure to take the time to shop around and find the schools that are eager to serve those who serve by offering lower tuition rates and fees. You can start your search by accessing the Military.com School Finder, which will help you find a school that offers the study program you want at a price that will help you avoid out-of-pocket expenses.
