Park University to Aid U.S. Coast Guard Students Throughout Federal Government Closure
Park University Offers Assistance to U.S. Coast Guard Members Amid Government Shutdown
Park University, a long-standing supporter of U.S. military service members since 1918, is extending a helping hand to Coast Guard members during the current federal government shutdown. The university is offering various forms of assistance, including waiving the tuition of one class (up to three credit hours) for Coast Guard members enrolling for the Spring I term, and providing a $60 credit towards the cost of books.
Since 2009, Park University has earned international recognition as a top military friendly college/university and a "Best for Vets" private college/university in the country. The university serves students at multiple military installations across the country, with 33 of its campuses located on military bases.
Coast Guard members can enroll online at Park University's military enrollment website or by calling (888) 319-9522. Students will need to provide their Coast Guard Leave and Earnings Statement.
However, it's important to note that currently, no recent or specific public information is available on tuition assistance funding for Coast Guard members during the current federal government shutdown. There are ongoing funding reviews and legislative activity for the Coast Guard and other federal programs, but they do not clarify the status of tuition assistance funding.
If you seek precise and up-to-date details about Coast Guard tuition assistance during the shutdown and Park University’s support efforts, contacting the U.S. Coast Guard education services or Park University directly may provide the most current information.
Park University's assistance to Coast Guard members extends beyond just offering help during government shutdowns. The university has a long-standing relationship with the U.S. military and has provided emergency scholarships to active duty military students in the past, such as during the federal government's sequestration in 2013.

- Beyond emergency scholarships and tuition waivers during government shutdowns, Park University's involvement in politics and general-news also extends to advocating for military education benefits, such as the GI Bill, in legislative arenas.
