Military Tuition Assistance (TA) Refund Policy
The Department of Defense memorandum of understanding requires that the university “have an institutional policy that returns any unearned Tuition Assistance (TA) funds on a proportional basis through at least the 60 percent portion of the period for which the funds were provided. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending.”

ULV’s Online Military Tuition Assistance Authorization (TA) Voucher Submission
Submit your Request for Active Duty T.A. Authorization & Voucher for each semester/term you plan to use T.A. You must be admitted to a degree program and be enrolled in classes prior to submitting a TA voucher using this form.
Tuition Assistance & “Top Up”
Active-Duty students can utilize their Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty or Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay tuition in any Session or Semester. This process is referred to as “Top-Up”. Top-up is best used when you have exhausted Armed Forces (TA) funding for the fiscal year, and you do not have an alternate funding source (such as grants & loans via FAFSA). You must determine your eligibility for this benefit with the VA. Students using ‘Top Up’ will submit a VA Enrollment Certification Request form in lieu of an approved TA voucher.
