The Tuition Assistance (TA) covers up to 100% of tuition and fees for eligible active-duty servicemembers attending accredited schools or earning a high school diploma. Open to members of all military branches, TA requires a service commitment and maintaining a minimum GPA to avoid repayment.
Funding is limited to $250 per semester credit hour ($166 per quarter credit hour) and $4,500 per year. Servicemembers may use GI Bill benefits to “top up” (supplement) TA benefits, paying the difference between tuition and actual TA benefits for high-tuition programs. (Tuition Assistance is sometimes referred to as a “kicker” when used in conjunction with GI Bill benefits.)
Requirements vary by branch of service. For more information, visit:
