Federal Tuition Assistance Program

Federal Tuition Assistance is a program that pays up to a certain amount per credit for tuition and authorized fees. This amount is determined by the service branches. Please contact your Education Officer to find out about tuition assistance programs through your unit.

Tuition Assistance is not a loan; it should be viewed as money you have earned just like your base pay. If you're participating in the Federal Tuition Assistance Program and plan to use (or are currently using) other VA education benefits, please contact Veteran & Nontraditional Student Services to ensure you're maximizing your benefits.
