Get Started with Tuition Assistance

 

As an Army National Guardsman, you can apply for tuition assistance online at the National Guard TA Benefits web site by using your AKO login and password. The application also can be accessed through the Virtual Armory web site. If this is your first time setting up tuition assistance, or if you have relocated to a new base, please contact your local Guard Unit Education Advisor for specific information.

Many states offer additional tuition assistance to National Guardsmen. Please visit the Army National Guard web site to determine what additional assistance your state may provide.

 

Important Tips When Applying for Tuition Assistance

 

  • 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.

To learn more about your Tuition Assistance "Top-Up" benefits, visit the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs web site.
