Tuition Assistance (TA) – The Department of Defense (DoD) has
directed a uniform TA fiscal policy across the military services. Per
semester hour cap is $250 and the fiscal year ceiling is $4,500. The
military will pay 100 percent of the tuition and authorized fees charged
by a school up to the established per semester hour cap and fiscal
year ceiling.
Who is eligible for Military Tuition Assistance? All branches of the military.
Tuition assistance is available to both officer and enlisted active duty
personnel and some reservists on continuous active duty. It is also
available to:
•
Enlisted reservists ordered to active duty for 120 days or more
•
Reservist officers ordered to active duty for 2 years or more.
To qualify, service members must:
•
Be on active duty for the whole length of the course.
•
Attend an institution accredited by a regional, national, or professional
accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
•
Receive counseling from a Military College Office or a Virtual
Education Center counselor.
•
Provide all grades from previously funded TA courses and reimburse
all W and F grades. (Withdrawals for involuntary reasons may be
granted with command verification.)
•
Agree, if an officer, to remain on active duty for at least two years upon
completion of courses funded by TA. This obligation runs concurrently
with remaining obligated service time. Those who fail to serve the
obligation must repay the TA funds expended on their behalf during the
last two years of active duty on a pro-rated basis.
