Where do I send my TA approval?

The Veteran & Military Connected Student Center is no longer direclty invovled with processing TA. To use TA, we recommend contacting the respective branch Education Center closest to you. Please do so early enough to ensure that you are requesting TA before any pertinent deadlines. TA authorizations should be sent to GuaranteedSources@cwu.edu for processing.

General information on TA

In general, eligible active duty Service members can receive TA at a rate of $166 per quarter, hour cap with an annual ceiling of $4,500. The Services are authorized to establish Service specific eligibility criteria to manage TA funds. TA funds are a unique, distinct source of financial aid available to eligible Service members. TA benefits will be applied to a student account prior to the application of other federal grant funds.

For Service specific TA policies and procedures, visit their voluntary education websites. Each quarter that a student would like to utilize TA, they are required to submit an application through their respective portal to receive approval from their ESO, military counselor, or service.

*Note: Each Service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process and restrictions that may not mirror the standard policy. Please check with your Education Services Officer (ESO) to determine the benefits available to you. For more information on Tuition Assistance, visit the DANTES website.
