Tuition Assistance Guide
Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit paid to eligible active duty service members. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process and restrictions.
BU SELECT Courses cost $250 per credit hour.
This means that TA can cover 100% of course costs.
