Military TA/EDD

The U.S. Armed Forces offers Tuition Assistance (TA) to active service-members,. TA is a separate source of financial aid for eligible service-members and mandated to be the first payer of their college tuition program. Service members must contact their Education Service Officer (ESO) within their branch and receive approval prior to enrollment at FAU.

Tuition Assistance (TA) covers up to 100% tuition, not to exceed $250.00 per semester credit hour or $4500 per fiscal year. Please note that TA may not cover all tuition and fees for your enrollment. It is the student’s responsibility to pay any portion of their tuition or fees not covered by TA.
