Federal Tuition Assistance
Effective January 1, 2014, soldiers are able to use the Tuition Assistance (TA) program one year after graduating from initial entry training, known as IET. TA can be used for a post-baccalaureate degree after completing 10 years of military service. If a Soldier earned a BA degree without using TA, then they do not need to wait 10 years to use TA for a post-baccalaureate degree.
For completion of a master’s degree, TA is capped at $750 per class (with a maximum of $4,500 per year) up to 39 semester hours.
