ESO - Tuition AssistanceTuition Assistance
As of 01MAR09 Sector Jacksonville moved to an electronic system for submitting TA forms. Members must now register with Navy Knowledge Online to receive benefits. The registration webpage is located at; https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/portal/home/ and the TA form is located at https://myeducation.netc.navy.mil Funding for TA is limited, so submit your requests early as waivers are no longer being accepted. ETA is the sole source for requesting TA, do not use the paper format any longer. A guidebook for accessing the new program is linked on the Sector Jacksonville webpage at This Link or you may request a copy in PDF format from LT Thayer.
For more information on any ESO programs see LT Thayer Warning!
There are however several options you can use like the GI Bill Top Up and the Post 9/11 GI Bill. You may also convert your MGIB to the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Need info? Just ask your ESO, or visit http://www.gibill.va.gov TA via eTA
Tuition Assistance
Enlisted members and officers serving in the SELRES are eligible for tuition assistance (TA), except members in a retired recall status and CWO's extended beyond 30 years. Eligible service members are authorized $4,500 per year in TA education benefits annually; up to $250 per semester hour or $166 per quarter hour. In addition to TA, grants and scholarship opportunities are readily accessible to members. These grants help to pay for other costs, such as textbooks, and allow members to achieve their goals sooner. Enlisted members must have a minimum of one year of service remaining upon course completion. Officers who use TA incur obligated service in exchange for their participation in the program. Specifically, officers agree not to request release, separation, retirement or termination from SELRES status for 12 months following the course completion date of the last course funded by TA. Members eligible for Chapter 1607 benefits shall take full advantage prior to receiving TA. The total combined benefits may not exceed the full cost of the course(s). In addition, Top-Up is a program that allows GI Bill participants to use the GI Bill to supplement the tuition and fees not covered by TA. The amount of the benefit can be equal to the difference between the total cost of a college course and the amount of TA. For more information, contact LT Thayer (ESO), COMDTINST 1500.24, or see the Coast Guard Institute Web site: www.uscg.mil/hq/CGI/. WEBTA
