Bill > S489

This bill, known as the Air Guard Standardizing Tuition Assistance To Unify the Services (Air Guard STATUS) Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of the Air Force to create a permanent tuition assistance program for Air National Guard members. Specifically, the program will allow the Secretary to pay some or all of the tuition and educational expenses for Guard members who are meeting their required training obligations under existing military regulations. By establishing this as a permanent program under section 2007 of title 10 of the United States Code, the bill ensures that Air National Guard members will have consistent financial support for their educational pursuits. The tuition assistance is contingent on Guard members remaining compliant with their training requirements, which are defined in section 502(a) of title 32, United States Code. This legislation aims to support the professional and educational development of Air National Guard members by providing them with financial resources to pursue higher education.
