Veteran & Military Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit to active duty military, reservists, and the National Guard. TA is processed by the Bursar’s Third Party Billing department. To use TA, students should go to the appropriate TA platform and apply. The following information will be required to be approved for TA:
Contact your Base’s Education Office or go to the appropriate website listed in the chart above.
- Upload your Degree Plan (commonly known as your Degree Audit)
- When you run your Degree Audit, expand all sections of the audit, go to Print the page, then change the Printer to Save as PDF. (Can we make this a question mark that students can click on to get this additional info?)
- Update copy annually to verify that the class you are attempting to use TA Funding for will progress your degree.
