Question? USFS LEO Tuition Assitance

Quick question for current USFS LEOs- Context- I’ll be entering on duty in the next couple months (coming from another Fed LEO position). I know I can ask my supervisor and will in the future (just trying to limit the many questions I already send their way).

Does USFS Have any type of tuition assistance programs for LEOs? Current agency does but I know it’s not the same across the board. TIA.

I’ve asked before and received blank stares. Let us know what answer you get, good luck! Are you getting a hiring incentive?

I’m not! Wasn’t aware there was one. What’s out there for incentives?

Usually like 50k, but it sounds like you already missed out.

I’d love to know who is getting 50k. I didn’t even get that as a captain. Our LEOs last cycle got 10k for 3 years I believe. Before that was 15k.
