Federal Tuition Assistance
IMPORTANT Tuition Assistance Notification! Please see the notice in Announcements!!
Students using State or Federal Tuition Assistance must report their forms here so that VMASS and the Bursar can ensure proper processing and posting of funds to student accounts.
IAW with our DoD MOU
Students using Federal Tuition Assistance, regardless of which branch, are required to receive approval for tuition assistance from their Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor with Military Services, prior to enrolling in the course that the tuition assistance will be applied. There may be occasions when a student is waitlisted or is having enrollment issues, if that is the case please contact the ESO or VMASS staff for assistance.

The student logs into ArmyIgnitEd, clicks FUNDING REQUESTS. If there are no requests present, then the student does not have approved TA.
Sometimes students think they are approved for funding after getting their education goal approved. But the Ed Goal is just one step in the process. After Ed Goal creation the SM must login and create a request for their class or classes.
If the student puts all classes on the same request, the system cannot auto-approve the request(s) which delays approval because the system flags the student for an “overload” of classes. The other thing putting all classes on a single request does, is prevent you from processing drops in the AIportal.
