Tuition Assistance for Active Duty Military
Peru State College is glad to be continually recognized as one of the most affordable
four-year schools in the nation and Nebraska. Plus, with our One Rate, Any State Program
you never pay out-of-state tuition!
Military Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy,
Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard (in regular service and reserves). Congress has
given each of our armed services the ability to pay up $250 per credit hour and $4500
per year for tuition.
Any service member interested in attending Peru State College should first speak to
their education service officer (ESO) or counselor within their military service prior
to enrolling.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application
process' and restrictions. This money is usually paid directly to the institution
by the individual services. Tuition Assistance is not a loan, though some services
may require repayment if you are academically deficient in a course.
Tuition Assistance covers up to 16 hours a semester, but books and other course materials
are not covered.
Additional scholarships are also available for Peru State students. New and transfer
undergraduate students are encouraged to review more information about scholarships
and Peru State College's cost of attendance online or call the Office of Admissions at 402-872-2221.
One Stop provides a complete breakdown of tuition and fees for undergraduate and graduate students. Peru State's Net Price Calculator can also be an important tool in determining your total cost of attendance.
