Financial Aid and Tuition Information

Military Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.

TA funds are a unique, distinct source of financial aid available to eligible Service members.

Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process, and restrictions. This money is usually paid directly to the institution by the individual services. Because each branch has its own application process and criteria for eligibility, please contact your duty station’s Education Office to learn more about your available benefits.
