U.S Coast Guard
Active duty servicemembers who qualify for Tuition Assistance (TA), also are eligible for Davenport University’s military financial benefits.
Through the Federal Armed Forces Tuition Assistance program, you may be eligible for up to:
- $250 per semester credit hour
- $4500 per fiscal year
Get Started with Tuition Assistance
Coast Guard tuition assistance is processed through the USCG Institute and managed by the U.S. Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC) in Pensacola, Florida.
After completing the application and receiving command approval, mail the form to: U.S. Coast Guard Institute (ve), 5900 SW 64th Street, Room 235, Oklahoma City, OK 73169-6990.
If you have relocated to a new base or this is your first time applying for tuition assistance, you may need additional educational counseling from your education representative in person, by phone or via email. It is a good idea to start by contacting your supervisor and/or going to the USCG Institute website for more information.
Important Tips When Applying for Tuition Assistance
- Secure a statement of fees notice from your DUO military admissions advisor prior to submitting your TA request. The statement of fees notice outlines your start/ending dates, course cost, total credits and out of pocket expenses.
- Students taking more than one course can submit one TA form if all their courses have the same start date.
- Proper signatures from your Education Services Officer (ESO) and Command Representative are required, as well as your own signature.
- Learn more about your Tuition Assistance "Top-Up" benefits at the Department of Veteran Affairs website. If eligible, you can apply at the DAV site.
