WHAT'S AT STAKE
Military Benefits
GI Bill® Benefits
The Post-9/11 GI Bill®, widely utilized by many military students, represents an educational entitlement for service members who have completed active duty for a minimum of 90 days after 9/10/2001 or were discharged due to a service-related disability following 30 consecutive days of service. This legislation has the potential to fund the entirety of your tuition, offers a monthly housing allowance, and assists in mitigating expenses related to books and fees.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill
Military Tuition Assistance
Active duty service members can utilize Military Tuition Assistance (TA) to cover up to 100% of their tuition costs up to the service branch’s annual limit. Our military admissions team can help you navigate the application process.
