Active Duty

1. Tuition Assistance:
   • Tuition Assistance is when a percentage of your tuition (for academics, not for flight) is reimbursed to you.
   • Your contact is your Education Office where you are stationed.
   • You will complete the TA authorization; obtain signatures from your Education Office; then send the ORIGINAL signed TA authorization to:
     Utah Valley State College

     Business Office, MS 109

     800 West University Parkway

     Orem, UT 84058-5999
   • The ORIGINAL signed TA authorization should be sent to the UVSC Business Office by tuition deadlines.
   • Faxed TA authorizations will be accepted as long as the originals will follow in the mail. Send faxes ATTN: UVSC Business Office, (801)863-8787.
   • For more information about sponsored students see www.uvsc.edu/sponsoredstudents/.
2. Top-Up:
   • Top-up is a combination of Tuition Assistance and GI Bill. If Tuition Assistance does not pay the full cost of tuition, Top-up uses a portion of your GI Bill entitlement to pay the remainder cost.
   • Your contact is your Education Office where you are stationed.
   • More information is available online at www.gibill.va.gov
3. GI Bill:
   • You can use the GI Bill for different training types, including school attendance or flight training. You can use the GI Bill for one or the other, not both flight and schooling.
   • Active Duty GI Bill for School Attendance reimburses tuition and fees in monthly payments. An example is if tuition was $1600 total, then your monthly Active Duty GI Bill will pay you $400 per month.
   • Most active duty students use their GI Bill as a last resort because they would rather use their 36 months of GI Bill after they are discharged.
   • Your contact for the Active Duty GI Bill is both your Education Office where you are stationed and the UVSC Veterans Office.
