Reservists can get more assistance for graduate degree

30 Oct 2008 |

Air Force reservists can now obtain more money to pursue a master's degree.

Air Force Reserve Command's Masters Degree Tuition Assistance Rate increased from 75 to 100 percent Oct. 10. That means a reservist can receive $250 per semester hour instead of $187.50 and $166.66 per quarter hour instead of $125.

Lt. Gen. Charles E. Stenner Jr., chief of Air Force Reserve and AFRC commander, signed a memorandum on that date. The new rate is not retroactive. The fiscal year cap, per member, remains at $4,500.

Local education and training offices have more details. (Air Force Reserve Command News Service)
