You can get your tuition and mandatory fees paid at a qualifying Texas school while you serve in the Texas Military Department. Assistance runs up to the equivalent of 12 credit hours, for 10 semesters or five years, and no more than $10,000 per semester. Awards at private schools are worked out from the average public school award each semester, up to $4,500 per semester. Only fall and spring semesters count, and out-of-state tuition, incomplete, dropped or failed classes, and non-credit continuing education are not reimbursed.
Submit the Texas State Tuition Assistance online application, which opens roughly two months before most schools’ payment deadlines. For help, email ng.tx.txarng.mbx.trp@army.mil or call 512-782-5515.
Proof that you are drilling in good standing or serving in an Active Guard and Reserve status, proof you finished basic training, your school acceptance and registration details, and your grades showing a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.
