Tuition Assistance is a Department of Defense benefit that you may draw from while serving on active duty. It exists in order to help you with career and educational opportunities and serves as a "use or lose" benefit. You do not pay into Tuition Assistance (as you previously did with your MGIB account) and once you qualify for and receive funding, you must successfully complete the course with a passing grade. Our Student Admissions Representatives are standing by to assist you and help you process Tuition Assistance requests.

No cost to you means our courses are covered 100% via military tuition assistance. Our programs are operated in conjunction with our partners, Central Texas College & InovaTech - College of Business and Technology. Upon enrollment, our staff will provide you with the necessary Tuition Assistance forms to be completed, signed by your Command, and submitted to your Base Education Office for approval.

The Tuition Assistance provided to you by the Department of Defense generally requires that you possess a GT Score of 100 or above (Active Duty and Reservists). For Marines, you will also have to attend a College 101 briefing. If you are a National Guardsman you will receive Tuition Assistance based on slightly different criteria, but again we will assist you through the entire process. Should you have any questions, please notify a Troop Transition, Student Admissions Representative.

Your GT Score is a measurement of your Verbal Expression (VE) and Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) skills as assessed by the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. Your test score measures your General Technical abilities and will help determine your access to Tuition Assistance dollars.

For Marines and sailors, you can now qualify for Tuition Assistance by taking the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) at Base Education Centers aboard Camps Pendleton or Lejeune. The test has a two-hour completion time and you will receive your test results the very same day. Once you have successfully completed the TABE, you will be eligible for Tuition Assistance.

For soldiers, contact your education centers for more details.
