Seven decades ago today, President Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 “A Date That Will Live in Infamy.” That day – now known as Pearl Harbor Day – marks the surprise Japanese attack against U.S. troops stationed at Pearl Harbor. You most likely know that this raid was the catalyst that unified Americans to enter WWII. What you might not know is that it was the greatest loss of American life on U.S. soil until September 11, 2001 – killing 2,403 Americans, sinking 12 major U.S. Navy ships and destroying scores of planes.

Marine Corps Tuition Assistance (TA) Changes - Then Changes Back

  
  
  
hero marine2Great news for our Marine Corps students! MARADMIN 616/11 (dated 10/17/11) made sweeping changes to the USMC TA Program.  However, we have learned that the Marine Corps Tuition Assistance program for 2012 has been restored to fiscal year 2011 levels, which covers up to $250 per credit hour not to exceed $4500 for the fiscal year.

Marines who are currently enrolled in classes who were affected by the changes will be eligible for TA authorizations for any cost that would have been paid by TA prior to the change. Late enrollments may be approved as well.

We remain committed to ensuring that every service member, veteran and military family member has the opportunity to earn a college degree and are pleased to hear that these valuable benefits remain in place for our students.
