军事学费援助

To learn more about the VA 教育al Program, 请访问退伍军人法案® 网站. http://www.va.gov/. To speak to a military/veteran representative on campus, please contact the VA Certifying 上面列出的官员.

It is the service member's responsibility to apply for Tuition Assistance and provide the TA Authorization documents to the Cashier's Office (located in Berg Building, room 209, prior to the start of each semester. 的 service member must receive approval from a Military 教育al Service Officer (ESO) prior to enrolling in courses; if no approval is received, the service member may be solely responsible for all tuition 成本. Each branch of service has its own eligibility criteria, procedures, and application 形式. To find out how to get started, visit with your branch ESO or military counselor, or click on the link below that pertains to your branch:
| 军队 | 海军陆战队 | 海军 | 空军 |

Military TA recipients are also eligible to be considered for all other 形式 of financial aid that is available to all students. Service members are encouraged to apply for Title IV federal student aid, state aid, and scholarships. 去我们的 经济援助页面 to learn how to apply for other aid. TA students who are also eligible for the federal Pell grant will have their TA 好处 applied towards their account prior to the 申请佩尔助学金. TA 好处 will be applied to tuition and course-specific fees only, while Pell grant funds can be applied to other allowable educational expenses. If the service members drops his/her courses before the census date (last date to drop a class), TSC is required to return all TA funds to the military branch. 的 TA return policy aligns with the federal student aid return policy, in which any unearned TA funds will be returned on a proportional basis through at least 60% of the period 为此提供了资金. Should the service member stop attending school due to a military service obligation, TSC will work with the student to help prevent any student debt resulting from the returned TA portion. For all unofficial withdrawals/drops, we will attempt to determine the student's last date of class attendance or participation and will use that date for calculating the return of funds.

16-30% 50%
31-40% 40%
