PCI Tuition Assistance Military Scholarship

Pinnacle Career Institute recognizes and appreciates the service of our military men and women. The PCI Tuition Assistance Military Scholarship is specifically provided to assist eligible military personnel using their Tuition Assistance military benefits to cover all or some of the remaining direct cost of their academic program beyond the direct costs covered by their Tuition Assistance military benefits. In order to qualify for this scholarship, a student must:

• Be an eligible military service man/woman with Tuition Assistance benefits.
• Complete and sign a scholarship application.
• Meet all admissions requirements.
• Maintain full-time enrollment in a certificate or degree program for which the student is receiving the scholarship beyond the add/drop week.
• Provide documentation from the Education Officer specifically confirming Tuition Assistance eligibility as well as the exact dollar amount per each PCI academic year.
• Provide proof of military benefit by providing a Certificate of Eligibility.
• Complete all necessary requirements for the military to process the military benefit monies. TA authorization vouchers must be provided by the student directly to the school.
• Meet continued responsibility to certify each term with the Education Officer and forward the TA authorization voucher to PCI.
• Meet responsibility to annually re-apply for the TA benefit in October for each year enrolled in the program.
• Apply the military benefit paid to the school toward the direct cost of the educational program.
• Understand that those without full TA may have an out-of-pocket expense.
• Understand that scholarship monies cannot exceed program cost to create a credit or cash balance on the account card. If funding increases, the scholarship will be void.
• Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined in the PCI catalog.

Students are awarded a tuition scholarship of up to $5,000 as follows: direct education program costs, less the military benefit amount and any other federal grants and/or scholarships, not to exceed the direct cost of tuition, fees, books, and other institutional charges.

The scholarship application and required documents are to be provided to the financial aid coordinator prior to the planned term of attendance. This scholarship must be applied for annually, and if a student withdraws and re-enters, they must re-apply.
