ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- 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.
