Non-DoD Schools Program
The Non-DoD Schools Program (NDSP) provides support and funding for the education of eligible dependents of sponsors assigned at locations where the DoD does not operate a school within commuting distance. The Non-DoD Schools Program in the Pacific includes countries located in Asia from the border of Pakistan and India to the Pacific Rim, Australia and in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
DoDEA Regulation 1035.1, "Use of Non-DoD Schools," August 14, 2003 , contains the policy, responsibilities, and guidelines for the education of eligible dependents of DoD personnel at overseas locations where there are no DoD schools.
Enrollment eligibility for dependents of DoD personnel assigned to an overseas area is governed by the provisions of DoDEA Directive 1342.13, "Eligibility Requirements for Education of Minor Dependents in Overseas Areas," February 29, 2008.
The total cost of tuition and transportation funded by DoDEA for enrollment in a non-DoD school will not normally exceed the United States Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) education allowance for a particular location.
Rates are posted at this site: http://aoprals.state.gov/Web920/location.asp?menu_id=95
Sponsors MUST obtain approval for tuition and other expenses from the appropriate DoDEA Area office prior to incurring any expense. Payments for tuition and certain other expenses to defray the education costs are approved by the NDSP Area manager for the eligible dependents of DoD personnel who must attend a non-DoD school.
