State Tuition Assistance – Education Dollars for Duty (EDD)
If you are a Florida National Guard member pursuing a higher civilian education level, you may be eligible for state funding to help pay up to 100 percent of your tuition.
The “Educational Dollars for Duty” (EDD) program is available for Florida National Guard Soldiers and Airmen, and can provide public tuition for the period of the Guard member’s service. If you meet the eligibility requirements, EDD can be used for courses that lead toward a Technical Certificate, Associate’s, Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree. EDD cannot be used toward a Doctorate Degree.
This EDD program is established by Florida Statute and the annual budget is over $5 million. The primary purposes of the program are to enhance the Recruiting and Retention Programs of the Florida National Guard and improve the education level of Florida National Guard members.
