Military and Veteran Tuition Rate
Active-duty and reserve service members, their spouses and dependents, as well as veterans, their spouses, and dependents may be eligible for the military tuition rate. This rate has been established to support individuals who have dedicated themselves to serving in the U.S. armed forces.
Active-duty service members have a variety of financial resources available to them designed to help pay for their education.
Before you can apply for the federal Military Tuition Assistance (TA) program, you must receive college counseling from your installation’s education office and develop an education plan. Once that’s completed, you can submit your TA request.
To be considered for TA, you’ll also need to submit a completed authorization form to your military university representative at least two weeks before your class start date. Depending on your branch, you may be eligible to receive up to 100% federal TA for military service, with a limit of $250 per credit hour and $4,500 per year.
Each military branch has its own TA application form and procedures. Visit your local installation education center or your specific branch of service:
The Chicago School is pleased to offer a 10 percent tuition reduction for approved members of the Military and their family members. To discuss eligibility and other program questions, please contact [email protected].
