Who is eligible for the Tuition Assistance program described?

• A. Active duty personnel, spouses, and dependents
• B. Active duty personnel only
• C. Former service members only
• D. Civilian contractors

Answer: (A)

Tuition Assistance is a benefit meant to help service members pursue education while on active duty, and many programs are designed to support the service member’s family as well. The best answer reflects that eligibility includes active-duty personnel, their spouses, and their dependents. This mirrors the program’s aim to enable not just the service member but the whole military family to pursue education with financial help. Former service members typically use other education benefits, such as the GI Bill, and civilian contractors aren’t part of the military personnel system, so they aren’t eligible for this TA.
