Synopsis as published on the index
The MCTAP was created in 1999 as a recruiting incentive specifically designed to encourage college students to consider the Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) Program early in their collegiate career. Reference (a) gives the Marine Corps the authority to implement the MCTAP beginning 1 October 1999. The MCTAP will allow up to 1200 once-trained members of the PLC program to receive tuition assistance payments of up to $5200.00 per academic year. Eligible members may receive reimbursements for verified qualifying expenses for up to three consecutive years. MCTAP funds are available for the purpose of obtaining a baccalaureate degree or juris doctor (or equivalent) degree. The maximum amount that a member may receive is $15,600.00 over a period of three consecutive years. If a member accepts tuition assistance through the MCTAP, a 60 month active duty service obligation is incurred, see paragraph 5.
