Navy Tuition Assistance Eligibility Requirements
In support of continued education for its service members, The Navy a number of programs to help them work towards a desired degree or certification, including 100 percent Tuition Assistance (TA) for college courses taken on their own time.
Here is a brief summary of the procedures for using Navy TA:
- Contact your Navy College Office to arrange for educational counseling. This can be done in person, by phone, or via e-mail. With the help of your Navy College Counselor, determine which courses will be requested for TA funding.
- Next, complete a TA Application form. Check with your particular institution to confirm that the courses and fees you list on the application are accurate. Fees that are authorized for funding under TA are:
o Fees that are directly required to sign up for a class may be combined with tuition. The Navy will cover the fees that are published, mandatory, and charged for course enrollment.
o Mandatory, non-reimbursable fees that meet the above criteria may be paid for with TA. However, if a course is canceled, allowing for the refund of tuition, the student is held liable for payment of the non-reimbursable fee.
o Sailors who ask for payment of fees with tuition when applying for TA are responsible for providing correct fee information to their Navy College Office.
- After you have carefully read the second page of the TA Application and the TA Application Agreement carefully, fill in all of the requested information at the bottom of the page. By signing this form, you are indicating that you know the rules relating to TA funding. Finally, you will need to obtain command approval signature for course enrollment.
- Take your command approved TA application to your Navy College Office (or Marine Corps Education Center) for processing.
The Navy Tuition Assistance Form:
- Once your application is received and authorized, your supporting office or center will prepare a TA Authorization Voucher which you will provide to the school you are attending. Be sure to keep a copy for your records.
- TA participants may submit a copy of a grade report which is obtainable through their student account. If you send the report by e-mail (SFLY_TA.NAVY@NAVY.MIL) which is the easiest, wait seven days and then log on to smart.navy.mil to verify that the grade has been received and processed. You can also fax a copy of your grade.
- If you should receive a failing grade (F or N), or an Incomplete (I), you will be asked to repay TA Accounting for the TA funded portion of the course. Or, if you fail to submit your grade(s) within 60 days following the completion of a course, your command will receive a letter stating that unless the grade is faxed, payment will be required for the funded portion. Payment must be in the form of a cashier’s check or money order, made out to the U.S. Treasury.
