The AEV program provides financial assistance to selected senior enlisted personnel to complete post-secondary, Navy-relevant degrees through off-duty education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AEV program supports the continued educational development of senior enlisted leaders as part of the Navy\u2019s seasoned team of naval warriors,\u201d said Albert Sharlow, NETC AEV program manager. \u201cThe program provides the Navy’s chief, senior chief and master chief petty officers a platform to pursue higher education that makes them more effective leaders with varied sets of knowledge, skills and experiences to operate, sustain and maintain an edge in today\u2019s rapidly changing security environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is eligible?<\/p>\n

Applicants must be top performing active-duty senior enlisted personnel (E-7 to E-9) who are transferring to or currently on shore duty with sufficient time ashore to complete a master’s degree program. Applicants on sea duty may apply provided they submit an education plan that shows the ability to complete the degree program as specified above.<\/p>\n

For FY24, applicants must have already earned a baccalaureate degree from an institution of higher learning accredited by an agency recognized by the Department of Education.<\/p>\n

How many quotas are available?<\/p>\n
