The Department of Defense (DOD) offers TA to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Each branch has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process, and restrictions. Funds are approved on a course-by-course basis dependent upon degree requirements. Additionally, active duty members may elect to use the Montgomery GI Bill® (MGIB) or Post-9/11 GI BIll® "Top Up" or their service-provided TA to cover courses. Students using TA may also use other eligible financial aid.
Prior to enrolling at CSN, students must contact their Education Services Specialist or visit an Education Center to declare an educational goal and create an educational plan to receive approval to use TA.
TA authorizations are to be submitted before the payment deadline for each semester. If you are submitting a TA authorization after the payment deadline, please contact us. If "Top Up" is being used, the student will also need to contact the Veterans Education & Transition Services (VETS Center) for additional requirements.
For billing questions, please contact the Cashiers Office.
