Tuition Assistance
If planning on using Military Tuition Assistance, you must have received TA Approval from an Educational Service Officer (ESO) or counselor within your military Service prior to enrolling into a program. This is reflected through Service providing a TA Voucher from the appropriate branch of service.
Each branch of the military has its own applications, procedures, and expectations. You’ll need to apply via your base education office, your command support staff where applicable, or your branch of service’s online portal.
