  • College courses, both undergraduate and graduate, are paid by the U.S. Coast Guard at 100 percent of the cost of an institution's tuition for each course. The annual cap for tuition assistance is $4,500.00 for active duty personnel, selected Reservists and civilian employees. The annual cap falls within each fiscal year (October 1 to September 30).
  • The U.S. Coast Guard pays a maximum of $250 per semester hour.
  • Developmental courses may be authorized by the U.S. Coast Guard if required by the institution prior to taking a higher-level course.
