Important information

Courses with a final grade listed as failed, incomplete, or withdrawn will not be reimbursed.

Service members incur a 2-year commitment to the Virginia National Guard upon completion of last term for which tuition grant was received.

Reimbursement requests can only be made for approved schools (accredited not-for-profit school with a physical location in Virginia).

Applicants are encouraged to apply for all available forms of federal benefits and Veterans Affairs entitlements prior to applying for state tuition assistance.
