Your military experience is an asset here. It will help you become a successful graduate and a future leader in commercial diving. Our veteran staff will assist your transition from active duty to civilian life as a student at DIT. Strong communication, clear expectations, and camaraderie are a way of life here. Our financial aid team handles post-9/11 GI Bill® paperwork every day. We’ll walk you through each step of the process so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Your $100 application fee will also be waived if you are active duty military or a veteran.

At 100% eligibility students can receive up to $2,748 per month, which is paid directly to the student for Basic Housing Allowance.
