Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard

If this is your first time setting up Tuition Assistance, or if you have relocated to a new base, you may need some or all of the following documents in order to complete the Tuition Assistance process with your Education Service Officers (ESO). Please contact your ESO to determine which documents you will need.

Please make sure to submit the proper number of forms: Students taking more than one course can submit one Tuition Assistance form if all their courses begin on the same date. Students taking more than one course where the courses begin on different dates (i.e. one in Spring 2009 and one in Spring 2010) must submit a separate Tuition Assistance form for each class.

• Air Force -- AF Form 1227
• Navy and Marines -- Form NETPDTC 1560/3 (Application for Tuition Assistance)
• Coast Guard -- Form CG4147

• Correct Course number and title
• Start and End Dates for the course(s)
• Billing address for invoices to be sent

• Proper signatures from Education Services Officer (ESO) and Command Representative
• Student signature
