College tuition stipends for US airmen suspended
The U.S. Air Force joined other military branches Tuesday in suspending tuition assistance that thousands of active-duty service members rely on to pay for college classes.
Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Laurel Tingley said airmen were notified by email that new applications for tuition assistance won鈥檛 be accepted because of the $85 billion in automatic federal spending cuts that went into effect March 1.
