Military Tuition Assistance
Military Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit available to qualifying service members of all branches of the Armed Forces to assist with the cost of tuition. Current TA payment rates are generally capped at $250 per credit hour; the student is responsible for paying the rest of the tuition and fee balance.
Processes for requesting TA vary from branch to branch. Service members interested in using Tuition Assistance as a funding source at Maryville University are encouraged to speak first with the Education Service Officer (ESO) or counselor within their Military Service prior to enrolling in a program of study at Maryville University.

Tuition Assistance (TA) Refund Policy
Maryville University will return a portion of federal TA funds to the government if a student
withdraws or drops a course prior to the course reaching the 60% completion point. If a student withdraws from a course after the 60% point, a refund will not be issued to either the student or the government as we consider this beyond the period requiring proration of funds in accordance with MOU requirements.Maryville University calculates the portion of TA funds earned based on the number of weeks a student attends their course. As a university, we do not invoice for any TA funds until after the 60% completion point to minimize return of funds to the government.
There are two refund schedules, based on course length:
8-Week courses:
- 100% Return – before classes start or until the end of week 1
- 75% Return – withdrawal during week 2
- 50% Return – Withdrawal during weeks 3- 4
- 40% Return – withdrawal during week 5
- 0% Return – Withdrawal during Weeks 6-8
16-Week courses:
- 100% Return – before classes start or until the end of week 2
- 75% Return – withdrawal during weeks 3-4
- 50% Return – Withdrawal during weeks 5-8
- 40% Return – withdrawal during weeks 9-10
- 0% Return – Weeks 11 and beyond (week 11 starts past the 60% completion point)
