Modernizing Support for Military Learners
Why it matters
Military tuition assistance has been capped at $250 per credit for over 20 years.
Tuition has nearly doubled.
The impact
-
Fewer institutions can honor the rate
-
Military learners have fewer choices
-
Out-of-pocket costs increase
The reciprocity risk
Service members move and deploy frequently.
Stable reciprocity allows them to stop out and return without losing progress.
If reciprocity weakens, access weakens.
Bottom line
Modernizing tuition assistance is about access, recruitment, and national security.
Education is not just a benefit. It is infrastructure.
