Which program provides funding for off-duty voluntary education?

• A. FORCECOM
• B. CG 731
• C. College Tuition Assistance
• D. Coast Guard Exchange

Answer: (C)

Off-duty voluntary education funding is provided by a Coast Guard program that specifically covers tuition for courses at accredited colleges or universities while you are on active duty. This is designed to help members pursue higher education and professional development in their off time, with coverage typically subject to limits, required approvals, and good standing. The other options do not serve as tuition funding: FORCECOM handles training and readiness rather than financial support for education; CG 731 is not a tuition-assistance program; Coast Guard Exchange is a retail benefits program and does not fund education.
