Senate, House agree on Florida National Guard education funding Image via AP. The funding comes as the Legislature pinches pennies amid the pandemic. The Senate on Monday embraced a House budget position that will provide more funds for education benefits for Florida National Guard troops. The tuition benefit, Educational Dollars for Duty, covers tuition expenses for qualified soldiers and airmen pursuing a post-secondary education. The program operates on a $3.1 million annual recurring appropriation. In  2020, it received an additional $1.1 million non-recurring appropriation, raising the total to $4.2 million. This year, however, the Senate and House negotiated over the additional $1 million appropriation, ultimately deciding to go ahead with the additional funds.
