We’ve Got Your Six!
From application to graduation, we’re here to help. If you’re pursuing a degree through UA Online, see if you qualify for our Military Tuition Grant.
We appreciate our active duty military, National Guard and reserve student service members. We believe there should be no limits to your education, no matter where your service takes you.
The UA Online Military Tuition Grant covers tuition costs not paid by military tuition assistance, up to the maximum amount allowed by your service branch. It encompasses up to 6 credit hours each term (fall, spring and summer) and up to 18 credit hours per academic year. With this financial assistance, the tuition for a UA Online program can be nearly free for military service members, excluding books and other fees.
Service members interested in applying must complete a grant application and submit military verification documents for consideration each year.
Eligibility
To receive the UA Online Military Tuition Grant, a student must be:
- Active duty Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, Space Force, National Guard or reserve service member receiving tuition assistance
- Undergraduate or graduate student admitted to a UA Online program and enrolled in classes
- In good academic standing
Funds are disbursed after a student has completed three-quarters of the term.
Current and new students can qualify, but the grant is not retroactive to apply to previous terms. Students cannot combine this grant with any other grant from UA’s Office of Teaching Innovation and Digital Education.
In addition to the online grant application, eligible students must submit an approved tuition assistance request form.
TA requests for all service branches must be submitted and approved at least seven days before classes start. If you have any questions, contact our UA Online Military Services team at uadistancemilitary@ua.edu or 205-348-6220.
