Get Started with Tuition Assistance
If you are a first-time student, you must complete a TA Orientation Class prior to using tuition assistance. Marines at remote sites including non-Marine Corps installations may access the TA Orientation Class online ( Word format ) ( PDF format ) ( Zipped file ). To save to disk, right click and select "Save Target As." When you have completed the orientation, please fill out and print the Certification Form.
Once completed, proceed to your local base Lifelong Learning or Education Office. Marines must apply for and receive written authorization for TA through the appropriate education office prior to enrollment at DeVry.
Important Tips When Applying for Tuition Assistance
-
TA for remote Marines and those assigned to other service sites is processed at Camp Lejeune for those east of the Mississippi and Camp Pendleton for those west of the Mississippi. I-I duty Marines apply through MARFORRES, New Orleans. Recruiters apply via their recruiting district or region headquarters.
-
To ensure your TA voucher is accurate, you must secure a statement of fees notice from your military admissions advisor. The statement of fees notice outlines your start/ending dates, course cost, total credits and out of pocket expenses.
-
Students taking more than one course can submit one TA form if all their courses have the same start date.
-
Proper signatures from your Education Services Officer (ESO) and Command Representative are required, as well as your own signature.
