Big changes to Military Federal Tuition Assistance are in effect! 📢

Heads up for December 2024 changes too: the Fed TA cap went up to $4,500/18 credit hours per FY, but the CA cap dropped to $2,000. Commissioned Officers (O1–O10) are no longer eligible for CA.
Starting March 2026, command approval is required for all Fed TA/CA requests, and supervisors have a strict 5-day window to act — or the request gets deleted. Two unsuccessful grades in the same fiscal year means a 12-month suspension.
Know the rules before you apply. Contact the MoWest Center for Military and Veterans Services with any questions!
