Armed Forces Tuition Assistance (TA) 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. 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.
Additionally active duty members may elect to
use the MGIB "top-up" in addition to their
service provided TA to cover high cost courses.
TA is not a loan; it should be viewed as
money you have earned just like your base pay.
In addition to Tuition Assistance, many schools
will offer you college credit for military
service and training. This means you can take
fewer classes and graduate faster. Don't miss
out on this opportunity. |
