One of the major sticking points for service members and military spouses looking to get an education may soon disappear. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would rework the nation's laws regarding access to higher education, with particular provisions that benefit military families.

The proposed bill is a reform of the Higher Education Opportunity Act and has many promising provisions, including one which mandates that schools provide in-state tuition rates to members of the military and their families. Currently each state has its own laws on how to consider military families for tuition rates, but one federal standard would ensure that high out-of-state tuition rates will not be an issue for service members or their families.

Military families often have to move from their home states when service members are transferred to another duty-station. When military families look to resume or begin education, they are often faced with tuition fees double or triple what they were paying in their state of residency.

The proposed legislation will also establish a military family scholarship and military spouse scholarship program for military spouses and dependents of active-duty service members (or National Guardsmen in some cases) during a time of war or national emergency. The U.S. Senate will now take up the bill.

Right now, however, there is still one important way that military families can take military distance learning courses without worrying about in-state tuition rates - and that's distance (online) education. When you enroll in a course online, it doesn't matter where you live or whether you move during your education. Military continuing education online is an excellent way for service members and military spouses to avoid out-of-state tuition fees.
