Using the Military Benefits You've Earned
The OU College of Professional and Continuing Studies participates in the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) programs. We serve as a liaison to the DoD in processing TA and other military educational benefits. TA can cover a significant portion of the college's bachelor’s and master’s tuition for eligible active duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel. TA can go a long way toward making your education more affordable.

Military Tuition Assistance Forms
All military students who are using the Tuition Assistance program must apply for the tuition assistance through their specific branch of the service prior to the first day of the class. If you have not applied for MTA prior to the first day of class you may be denied Tuition Assistance by your branch of service. If you do not have your Tuition Assistance form submitted to the College of Professional and Continuing Studies by the last day of add/drop for each term you may be held liable for all tuition and fees. Please note:
- Each branch of service has different systems for applying for TA. Please check with your Education Office prior to the start of the term to ensure you have complied with their requirements.
