Rasmussen College Provides Grants To Active Duty Military Students Impacted By The Suspension Of Federal Tuition Assistance
Grants will replace military funding for service members' College tuition
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (June 5, 2013) – Rasmussen College, a leader in post-secondary higher education, announced today it will provide grants to the dozens of active duty military students whose tuition assistance was suspended earlier this year due to federal spending cuts – also known as the sequestration. The spending cuts to federal agencies, including the Department of Defense went in to effect March 1, 2013. As a result, the Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force temporarily cut their popular Tuition Assistance (TA) programs to make up for the decrease in funding to their service branches.
