Active Duty Service Members

Tuition and fees are set by the Washington State Legislature and are subject to change. 天堂社区 reserves the right to change any of its fees or charges without notice.

天堂社区 is committed to helping active duty members and their spouses reach their educational goals. All four service branches and the U.S. Coast Guard offer financial assistance for voluntary, off-duty education programs. Educational benefits are also available to eligible members of the National Guard and selected reserves.

Service members first need to check with their Command Education Officer (CEO) to establish eligibility and requirements involving Tuition Assistance (TA). This can be done by visiting their local installation education office, by going online to a virtual education center, or by clicking on the following links for each service branch:

• ARMY
