Eligibility for Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) depends on your military status, service history, and current enrollment. VA benefits are typically available to veterans, active-duty service members, and some dependents who meet specific criteria. Federal Tuition Assistance is generally available to eligible active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve service members. To determine your eligibility for either program, you should contact the VA directly or speak with your branch&#8217;s Education Office. The Registrar\u2019s office can also assist in helping you connect with the right resources to get started.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; title=&#8221;What amount of the cost of attendance is covered by VA benefits and FTA?&#8221;][vc_column_text]What amount of the cost of attendance is covered by VA benefits and FTA? The amount of the cost of attendance covered by VA benefits and FTA can vary depending on the student\u2019s eligibility and enrollment status. For students using the Post-9\/11 GI Bill, the VA may cover up to 100% of tuition and eligible fees, plus a monthly housing allowance and a book stipend. Federal Tuition Assistance typically covers up to $250 per credit hour, with an annual cap (e.g., $4,500 per fiscal year, depending on the branch of service). Any remaining costs not covered by FTA may be eligible for coverage through other VA benefits, depending on the type and amount of entitlement remaining. Contact Presley Utz (VA School Certifying Official) or your branch\u2019s Education Office for a personalized breakdown.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; title=&#8221;Who can I reach out to with more questions about VA benefits and FTA?&#8221;][vc_column_text]For questions about VA benefits, you can contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs directly at 1-888-GIBILL (1-888-442-4551) or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.va.gov\/education\">www.va.gov\/education<\/a>. For Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA), it&#8217;s best to contact your branch&#8217;s Education Office or access your military portal (e.g., ArmyIgnitED, AFVEC, etc.).
