Important Information
All current students (on campus and online) must submit a Military Benefits Authorization Form EACH semester they are using their benefits. The form will be a required document in their Financial Aid Live page.
**Delay in completing the Military Benefits Authorization Form could delay your payments.**
Classes that are not required for a student’s major cannot be reported to the VA for payment; schedules will be checked to ensure they are reportable to the VA to count toward benefits.
Tuition Assistance
Military Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible active duty, National Guard and Reserve members. Each branch of service is authorized to establish specific eligibility criteria. Service members should contact their local Education Service Officer (ESO) or representative prior to enrolling in college.
