Navy's New Tuition Assistance Policies

Week of February 06, 2012

The U.S. Navy recently announced policy changes to the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program and Navy Voluntary Education. The Navy's policies for authorizing Tuition Assistance (TA) have changed and Sailors will not be able to use TA for courses at intuitions without a signed MOU by April 1. Sailors who meet all the above requirements but whose TA request is submitted after April 1 will be approved for TA only if their institution has a signed DoD MOU. Sailors can check the DoD MOU status of the academic institution they are attending by going to www.DODMOU.com and clicking on the "Participating Institutions" tab. Sailors are encouraged to talk with the Navy College Office or Virtual Education Center counselors about their options, including changing schools, and use of GI Bill benefits or scholarships.
