Coast Guard Tuition Assistance online

We have made our programs affordable so you can use your Coast Guard benefits and perhaps pay little to no out-of-pocket expenses. Contact ALU today to learn about additional scholarship opportunities that can be applied toward your tuition amount. Because you are in the Coast Guard, you are given funding by the military which includes the maximum TA funds of $4,500 per fiscal year, $250 per credit semester hour or $166 per quarter credit. It is important to note that the Coast Guard will not pay for a degree of equal or lower level than what you have already obtained using your Coast Guard TA funds.
