Applying for financial aid

VA education benefits

Military Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. Congress has given each branch of service the ability to pay up to 100 percent of the tuition expenses of its members. The availability of TA benefits varies by command. Tuition Assistance is a Department of Defense program and is not administered or monitored by the VA. Questions regarding Tuition Assistance, as well as the obtaining of application forms, should be directed to the military student's unit education service officer. For additional information about Tuition Assistance, check out this step-by-step guide for getting started.

"I chose ASU because of its great relationship with veterans. The Pat Tillman Veterans Center provides student veterans with a plethora of resources for academic and postgraduation success. I also decided to go with ASU since I wanted to go through some college courses through an online degree program while active duty. ASU is a reputable school, and I got to study toward the major I wanted."
