Coast Guard Tuition Assistance
Active Duty Coast Guard
Servicemembers desiring to use TA for an Ashworth College degree program should call and discuss their educational goals with a military advisor. We will do a no-cost evaluation of all current credits to determine transfer credit eligibility. Once your degree plan has been created you will need to apply for TA.
Application Process
The management of TA is centralized at the USCG Institute through a consolidated tuition assistance processing system managed by the U.S. Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC) in Pensacola, Florida.
The Coast Guard Institute approves the TA Application (CG-4147) , inputs data into the Navy's computer database, and issues the TA Authorization form (CGI-1560).
Once the TA has been approved the form will need to be sent to Ashworth military services via fax 770.729.7290 or via email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Ashworth will bill the Navy (NETPDTC) for payment of the government's share of tuition assistance.
Coast Guard Reserve (USCGR)
Coast Guard Reserve units have integrated with active duty sites, so in the spirit of "Team Coast Guard," USCG reservists have access to all of the educational programs available to active duty members.
