Active Duty Tuition Assistance

At CIAT, we know how difficult it can be juggling active duty while expanding your education. How could you possibly squeeze in classes and studying while on-call and ready for deployment 24/7? That’s where we can help. Our flexible in-person and online course schedules make it easy to earn your degree no matter where you’re stationed. CIAT also offers Active Duty Tuition Assistance to help foot the bill for your new degree. Tuition Assistance (TA) funds are a unique, distinct source of financial aid available to eligible Service members. Tuition Assistance (TA) will be classified as a “first payer” and be applied to students’ account prior to the application of any Pell Grant awarded.

With your service behind you, it’s time to transition back into civilian life with a degree in IT administration, cybersecurity, networking, coding, or data analytics. We’ll pay specific attention to your needs with our intimate class sizes and responsive career counseling services.

We are proud to announce the latest evolution of our campus plans for 2022 – our Hybrid Campus Plan.

Students who elect to participate in CIAT’s Hybrid Campus option will be required to attend one class session, their final exam, at CIAT’s National City campus. Physical attendance will be required, tracked, and reported to the Veterans Administration, Department of Education, and/or any other federal or state agencies that require residency verification.
