Members of the Air National Guard currently don't have guaranteed access to tuition assistance the way active-duty Air Force members do — it depends on available funding and policy decisions that can change year to year. This bill would require the Secretary of the Air Force to create a permanent tuition assistance program for Air National Guard members who are meeting their training requirements. It's a straightforward change that would give Guard members more reliable access to education funding to help cover college tuition and expenses.
