More tuition help for Tennessee Guard members
Eligible Tennessee National Guard members who successfully apply get tuition help at public educational institutions. The Department of Military pays 100% of maximum resident in-state tuition, plus undergraduate course or master's program fees set by annual policy. These fees exclude tuition; other state or federal aid counts toward tuition first and reduces the department's payment. The department must publish its fee-payment policy by August 1 each year for the upcoming academic year. For members covered by the limits, the reimbursement cap rises from 120 to 130 semester hours, and the eight full-time-equivalent semester limit ends.
Tighter tuition aid rules for Guard members
Tennessee National Guard members cannot get state tuition reimbursement while suspended from federal tuition assistance for academic performance or recoupment. Recoupment means recovery of previously paid assistance. Members seeking reimbursement must apply within 45 days after completing a course. The law took effect when it became law.
