A student choosing a career may be swayed by the possibility
of a scholarship or a tuition assistance allowance. The US department
of defense has a tuition assistance policy which pays for the
cost of off-duty courses; officials of the U. S. Air Force
have been quoted as saying. The chief of air force voluntary education
branch of the Pentagon has been reported as saying that the policy
pays for tuition costs and mandatory fees for up to a maximum
of $250 per semester hour, or $750 per three-hour course. The
policy however has a $4,500 tuition assistance ceiling a year.
The US airforce provides that so long as the total cost of the
course falls under the authorized total, the student doesn't have
to pay any money out of his or her pocket.
