They provide funding to eligible active-duty Sailors for tuition costs of courses taken in an off-duty status at a college, university, or vocational/technical institution, whose regional or national accreditation is recognized by the U.S. Tuition Assistance (TA) and the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE) are the Navy's primary financial assistance programs for voluntary education.
The next section explains Tuition Assistance/NCPACE. NCPACE courses require no ongoing Internet connectivity to complete (some courses require a one-time download at the beginning of the course and an upload at the completion).
NCPACE offers participating Sailors high quality learning opportunities and experiences through distance learning courses from post-secondary institutions accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the Department of Education. While all eligible Sailors can participate in the TA program, the objective of NCPACE is to provide personnel assigned to sea duty type 2 and 4 Unit Identification Codes (UICs) with educational opportunities comparable to those available to shore duty personnel. Both programs pay up to 100% (within fiscal year/career caps and limits) of tuition charged by educational institutions for course enrollments. There are two programs available to eligible Servicemembers to fund off-duty education: Tuition Assistance (TA) and Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE).
