Air Force Reservists pursuing a master’s degree will now have a little more cash to work with thanks to an increase in their tuition assistance rate that went into effect Oct. 10. In a release Oct. 30, Air Force Reserve Command said the rate has gone up from 75 percent to 100 percent, meaning a Reservist may receive $250 per semester hour instead of $187.50 and $166.66 per quarter hour instead of $125. The new rate is not retroactive, and the fiscal year cap, per member, remains at $4,500, according to AFRC.
The U.S. military conducted strikes on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz on May 7, as the conflict with Iran flared up again—though officials say the ceasefire remains in effect.
