Military Tuition Assistance

In some cases, service members may use both Tuition Assistance and VA Chapter Benefits (only Chapters 30 and 33).

For guidance, contact the SCO for personalized support.

How to Apply for TA

Each military branch has its own TA application process and forms. To get started:

  • Visit your local installation education center
  • Use a virtual education center
  • Go to Military OneSource and follow the link for your branch of service

Before You Enroll

You may be required to:

  • Complete a TA orientation
  • Develop an official education plan

Be aware of the following:

  • TA may only be used at accredited institutions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. To verify accreditation, visit the Department of Education.
  • Your service’s education center must approve TA before you enroll in a course.

Important Update for Army & Air Force Students

Beginning October 1, 2024, the course code must be loaded in the AI Portal for TA approval.

If your course is not found, contact the SCO for assistance.

Evaluating Prior Credit

The SCO can assist in:

  • Evaluating Joint Services Transcripts (JSTs)
  • Determining how prior military experience or college coursework can count toward your ECU degree
