Military Tuition Assistance
Florida Tech University Online Graduate students have access to military tuition assistance to help offset a portion of their tuition and fees. If you are an active-duty servicemember, please verify with your ESO to be sure your TA policies have not recently changed. Based on the majority of the current TA policies, the military’s tuition assistance program pays up to a maximum of $250 per semester credit hour and a personal maximum of $4,500 per fiscal year per student. Selected Reserve and National Guard units also offer a tuition assistance program, although the benefits may vary from the full-time duty program.
