TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ESOs should be well informed about the Tuition Assistance  (TA)  Program  and  should  be  able  to  help applicants fill out the TA form. TA is the Navy’s financial assistance program for active  duty  service  members  pursuing  voluntary education  goals  during  off-duty  hours. It  pays  a portion  of  the  tuition  at  accredited  high  schools, colleges/universities,   and   vocational/technical schools. TA does not pay for books or registration fees. TA  can  be  used  for  both  classroom  and  distance learning courses. TA is open to both officer and enlisted active duty personnel. It  is  also  open  to  Naval  Reservists  on continuous active duty and Naval Reservists ordered to active  duty  120  days  or  more. To  qualify,  service members must:    Be  on  active  duty  for  the  whole  length  of  the course(s).    Attend  an  accredited  institution.   (Check  with Navy  College  Office  to  verify  the  school’s accreditation status.)    Be   pursuing   a   high   school   diploma   or equivalency, vocational/technical certificate, or associate,   bachelor,   master,   doctorate,   or professional degrees.    Receive counseling from a Navy College Office.    Submit  an  application  to  the  Navy  College Office  before  the  beginning  of  the  course.

Repayment of TA does not negate the obligation. Those  allowed  to  resign/retire  before  having served the obligation must repay the TA funds expended on their behalf during the last 2 years of active duty on a pro-rata basis.
