Florida National Guard Approved EDD Tuition (100%) for ATP CTP Course

Gulf Coast Aeronautical's Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program is now approved for Florida National Guard Educational Dollars for Duty tuition program.

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, Baccalaureate or a Master’s Degree. EDD cannot be used toward a Doctorate Degree.

This EDD program is established by Florida Statutes, and 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.

For those qualifying for the program and attending Florida community colleges and public universities, tuition will be paid at 100 percent of the charged resident rate. For those attending accredited private institutions, EDD will provide funds at the average current state resident rate, and Guard members will be responsible for any difference between what EDD pays and the charged rate.
