Impact of Federal Tuition Assistance (TA) and/or other Federal Funds on Ch 33 Post 9/11 VA Education Benefits

Students may not receive Federal Tuition Assistance or other Federal Funds in conjunction with Ch 33 Post 9/11 tuition and fees.

The amount that will be reported to the VA will be tuition and fees initially charged to the individual after deducting any amount paid with Federal Funds. Any Federal Funds, excluding Title IV funds, received in excess of tuition and fees will be an overpayment that the student will have to refund to the VA.

• ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corp)
• MyCAA (Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts)
• HPSP (Health Professionals Scholarship Program)
• GETA (Government Employees Training Act)
• Federal TA (Tuition Assistance through the National Guard or Reserves)
