Steps to Using Military Tuition Assistance (MTA)
TUW recommends starting the process 3-4 weeks before the start date of class.
- Meet with your Education Services Officer (ESO) for a briefing on TA. Military students requesting Tuition Assistance (TA) must speak with their local education office to determine their tuition assistance benefits and receive guidance prior to enrolling at Touro University Worldwide.
- Apply for admission to Touro University Worldwide and Choose Military TA as your payment method.
- Log into your branch education portal and follow their process for enrolling and requesting TA. See branches in the section below for more details.
- Disclose all sources of aid: Contact the financial aid office if you plan to use multiple sources of aid, such as FSA or other scholarships.
Each branch has their own application process and set of criteria for eligibility. Please visit your installation’s education office to receive college counseling, develop an education plan, and for guidance through the application process. All branches require acceptance into the university and registration for classes prior to receiving approval for Military Tuition Assistance. Please click on your branch below for more details.
