Tuition Assistance Question - Military
#11
HawkGuy Wrote:I think you're a bit misinformed about the GI Bill. You get 36 months worth of benefits, not 36 months to use it. You have 10 years to use it, 15 with the new GI Bill.

And TA differs by service, so what's applicable to the AF doesn't necessarily apply to other branches. Each branch has it's own rules.

I'd use it when you need it. Don't worry about whether you're in or not. You'll save enough money by CLEPing out to make up for it.

I'm still trying to find the rule on the Air Force for Tuition assistance if you separate while class is still going. I don't want to use my GI bill until i have to, so i'm looking into TA or last resort would be take cleps, but i'm not using my GI bill until i get out. They need to make the new GI bill count for online classes.

I called the Luke AFB Education Center and asked them about it. The lady I talked to said that if you leave the service before your class ends, you have to repay the money.

Just wondering, why are CLEP's a last resort? Since you're on active duty they're free.

I figure the chances of me passing a Course are greater then me passing a Clep.
