DoD Tuition Assistance

Penn State has signed the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Memorandum of Understanding (DoD MOU) which allows Penn State to participate in DoD’s Federal Tuition Assistance (TA) program. 

Tuition Assistance benefits are a way for the military services to provide education benefits to service members on active duty. Tuition Assistance benefits are administered by each branch of service (each branch determines their own award amounts, eligibility, restrictions, and application process) and are typically earned based on service. Service-specific tuition assistance information and processes can be found at these links:

• Air Force
• Army
• Coast Guard
• Navy
• Marine Corps
• Space Force

Before enrolling at Penn State, all servicemembers should contact their military service Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor at their unit/base for information on service specific benefits and requirements.
