Tuition Assistance (TA)

Tuition Assistance (TA) is a Department of Defense (DOD) program and can be accessed at www.goarmyed.com. GoArmyEd is the virtual gateway for all eligible Active Duty, National Guard, and Army Reserve soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA) online, anytime, anywhere for classroom and distance learning. It allows soldiers to manage their education records including college classes, testing, on-duty classes, and Army Education Counselor support.

TA rules vary by branch of service and can even vary between units depending on whether the unit is active, Reserve, or National Guard.

The TA program provides financial assistance for voluntary, off-duty, education programs in support of a soldier’s professional and personal self-development goals. TA is available for courses that are offered in the classroom or by distance learning. The courses must be offered by schools registered in GoArmyEd and accredited by accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. All eligible soldiers will request TA through GoArmyEd. Non-Army service members must obtain TA through their branch of service.

Tuition Assistance Procedures

  • Soldiers must request TA through www.GoArmyEd.com prior to the course start date or before the school’s late registration period. TA is requested on a course-by-course basis.
  • GoArmyEd will notify the soldier whether the TA is approved. If the TA request is not approved, GoArmyEd will advise the soldier of the reason and next steps.
  • All drops/withdrawals must be handled through GoArmyEd. Soldiers who do not successfully complete a class will be required to repay TA. Soldiers who are unable to successfully complete a class due to military reasons must request a Withdrawal for Military Reasons through GoArmyEd and complete all required steps to ensure they will not be charged.
  • Soldiers must submit a signed TA Statement of Understanding (TA SOU) each year. Soldiers at the rank of E7 or above do not need their commander’s signature. However, by signing this document they agree to the terms of the TA SOU. Soldiers in the rank of E6 or below must have their commander’s signature. GoArmyEd will send a notice to students ninety (90) days before the due date.
