Students who are receiving Military Tuition Assistance (TA) and will also be receiving Federal Student Aid must be aware that TA is a form of financial assistance. We encourage all students to apply for any scholarship or aid resource that you can to help you with your educational costs. However, it is your responsibility to inform the Financial Aid Office of any or all outside sources of aid including Tuition Assistance, Employer Vouchers, outside scholarships, state grants, vocational rehabilitation, or agency funding.

Failure to notify the Financial Aid Office of these resources could result in a loss of Federal aid or a reduction of Federal aid. If this happens after all of your aid has been disbursed then we may have to return portions of your Federal loans back to the lender.

You will have the opportunity to disclose all outside resources through the online Financial Aid Office. Should you receive notice of a new scholarship or decide to take additional courses using TA resources, you must notify the Financial Aid Office.

The best way to notify us of any outside scholarships or other types of non-Federal aid is to e-mail Financial Services. Notify us of the type of aid you are expecting to receive, attach a copy of the letter or notice from the company or agency and tell us the amount of the scholarship or aid source. Remember the sooner that you inform us about this new aid source the sooner that we can put this on your award letter and process refunds to you.

Please contact us if you need additional assistance with financing your education.
