We’re Proud to Educate Our Nation’s Finest
Florida Tech salutes the many servicemembers from all military branches who serve our country while continuing their education. U.S. military and their family members are welcome to attend Florida Tech’s online classrooms from wherever they’re based and enjoy special military tuition discounts, sometimes resulting in no cost at all. There are five main initiatives that make up tuition support programs:
- Military tuition assistance
- Montgomery G.I. Bill
- College fund programs
- Loan repayment programs
- Veterans’ benefits
Military Tuition Assistance
Active-duty military servicemembers save $480 per three-credit course thanks to Florida Tech’s special military tuition rate. That means with military tuition assistance, your tuition could be $0!
Florida Tech University Online’s standard tuition rate of $410 per credit hour is reduced to $250 per credit hour ($750 per three-credit hour course) for military servicemembers. Here is an example of how this special tuition rate, combined with your military tuition assistance, could result in paying $0 for your school tuition:

Montgomery G.I. Bill
The Montgomery G.I. Bill offers up to $39,636 in tuition in return for a three-year commitment on full-time duty. Students contribute $100 a month for a year, and get $1,101 a month for three years. Members of the Reserves and National Guard are also eligible for the G.I. Bill, although at reduced rates. You can now apply online. To determine your eligibility, go to http://www.gibill.va.gov. Major benefits are highlighted below:
College Fund Programs
Enlistees in the Armed Services who become eligible for their College Fund Programs receive up to $70,000 toward college tuition, when combined with the Montgomery G.I. Bill, and upon honorable discharge. Enlistees who are awarded the College Fund by the Marine Corps or Coast Guard receive even more.
Loan Repayment Programs
In the full-time duty Army, soldiers can qualify to have their loan repaid by the military at the rate of one-third of the loan for each year of full-time duty served (maximum loan repayment is $70,000). The Army also helps soldiers pay off student loans they've taken out, provided they attended schools on an approved Perkins, Stafford, or other Department of Education Guaranteed Student Loan.
In the full-time duty Navy, a $65,000 loan repayment program is also available. Qualifications include prior military service, a high school diploma, and a loan guaranteed under the Higher Education Act of 1965. You must qualify for Navy Nuclear Field or other designated critical rating as defined by the U.S. Navy, and other restrictions apply.
