Education for Military Students

The Chicago School’s online-blended programs are perfectly suited for military personnel and their dependents. Given the flexibility and mobility our programs offer, not only will you be able to pursue new educational opportunities, you can do so from anywhere in the world.

 

Tuition Discounts

 

In an effort to serve those who serve our country, The Chicago School proudly offers active duty personnel, as well as their spouses, a tuition discount for military service members. In order to qualify for the 10% tuition discount, you must identify membership to either the U.S. Military or National Guard Reserves at the time of application. Applicants looking to enroll in a degree-seeking program must submit a copy of the following:

 

  • A copy of active duty member’s most recent earning statement or a pay stub
  • A statement from her or his commander/chief on official letterhead
  • A copy of their marriage license or a copy of their most recent separate or joint tax return(s), if the applicant is the spouse


Note that students may be required to resubmit documentation annually. Military discounts are applied to future terms only and are not retroactive for current or prior terms.

 

Tuition Assistance

 

Additional Tuition Assistance Programs are offered by the Armed Forces to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. In order to determine your eligibility and application process, we encourage you to contact your branch of the armed forces.
