Scottsdale, AZ -(AmmoLand.com)- Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI), an industry leader in providing accredited and accelerated distance learning, is pleased to announce it is again accepting Tuition Assistance (TA) for students who are active duty in the United States military.
“SDI is proud of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country, and we are so pleased to once again accept Active Duty Tuition Assistance,” says Pam Rogers, SDI managing director and director of student services. “All of our staff members and instructors are eager to help our nation’s military personnel take their passions for firearms to the next level.”
Rogers explains that SDI programs are specifically tailored to the ever-changing needs of active duty soldiers and veterans of the U.S. military. With year-round class scheduling and frequent program starts, SDI helps active duty, veterans, reservists and their dependents prepare for opportunities in some of today’s growing career fields, including firearms technology, home inspection and health sciences.
With a military history dating back nearly 100 years, SDI has provided thousands of veterans, active duty, reservists and their dependents with higher education training and career support. Historically, SDI has been approved to accept Active Duty Military Tuition Assistance for many years, however, the Department of Defense changed its policies in October 2014 which interrupted many schools’ ability to process TA funding.
