The U.S. Navy is seeking applications for the FY-17 Advanced Education Voucher (AEV) program. The AEV program offers post-secondary, Navy-relevant education at the baccalaureate and master's level and provides financial assistance to chief, senior chief and master chief petty officers. Eligible applicants include E-7s with no more than 17 years time in service (TIS), E-8s with no more than 19 years TIS, and E-9s with no more than 23 years TIS. TIS is computed to Oct. 1. A service obligation of three times the number of months of education completed or three years, whichever is less, is incurred. Applications for AEV are currently being accepted by NETC (N525). The deadline for submission for the FY-17 program is May 26. For more information, visit the Navy College website or contact Tom Smith, NETC N525, at (850)-452-7271 (DSN 459).
