NAU Cuts Tuition for Active Military

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Northern Arizona University is expanding on a Department of Defense program to give active-duty military men and women a deeply discounted college education.

The tuition assistance program also applies to those in the National Guard and reserves and covers up to $250 per credit hour.

But starting this fall, NAU will waive whatever the federal program doesn’t pick up — making a currently serving military member’s undergraduate or graduate education tuition-free.

NAU is the only one of Arizona’s three public universities to broaden the federal assistance so far.

The Arizona Daily Sun says the Department of Defense’s assistance cannot be used in conjunction with the widely known GI Bill, although the GI Bill can be used in succession.
