Tuition Assistance

The Air Force currently pays 100 percent of tuition, up to $250 per semester hour and $166 quarter hour ($4,500 annually), in off-duty courses with accredited schools who have signed the Department of Defense Memorandum of Understanding in pursuit of approved degree programs.

All TA Funding Requests must be approved by supervisors, via the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC), and fall within the TA application window of 45 calendar days prior to, and no later than 7 calendar days before, the term start date. Any TA not "supervisor" approved by prescribed start dates will be auto-deleted and a notification sent to the prospective student.

As of Oct. 1, 2014, Airman who have been in-active in pursuing their education for a year or more must receive Follow-Up counseling by their local education office prior to being authorized use of MilTA benefits. Additionally, no more than 124 semester hours (186 quarter hours) for a bachelor's degree and 42 SH (70 QH) for a graduate degree will be funded by MilTA.

A successful course completion is defined as a final grade of "C" or higher for undergraduate courses, and "B" or higher for graduate courses ("Pass" for "Pass/Fail"). Reimbursement is initiated when grades of "D" or "F" in undergraduate courses, and "C","D" or "F" in graduate courses are reported.

There is a mandatory requirement to maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 ("C" average) or above for undergraduate, and 3.0 ("B" average) for graduate level. Grades must be reported within 90 days after term end date or the Central TA Office will initiate reimbursement actions for missing grades (from term end date) via CMS. Once reimbursement actions begin, they cannot be stopped or refunded. Please understand that when signing your MilTA Form 1227, you are authorizing funds to be withdrawn from military pay for unsatisfactory grades, not completing courses or missing grades.

Most recent “changes” to MilTA program:

• Supervisors are required to approve all Military TA requests
• MilTA will automatically be denied for Airmen with UIFs, failed PT tests, referral EPR/OPRs or on a Control Roster
• Foreign language courses are only approved as part of a degree or if on the approved shortage list
• MilTA cannot be used for multiple degrees at the same level

In addition to eligibility changes, there have been multiple administrative changes in how Airmen will apply for MilTA and manage their academic goals. Supervisors will also be notified when airmen have incurred a MilTA debt for unsatisfactory completion of their course(s).
