Soldiers interested in taking advantage of Tuition Assistance need
to read this information and follow the SOP.
Soldiers are reminded that it is the individual responsibility of
the soldier to submit for, and follow up on, tuition assistance.
Do
not confuse Tuition Assistance (TA) with the Student Loan Repayment
Program (SLRP), as they are separate. Any soldier can obtain TA as
long as they are a satisfactory participant in the USAR. However,
only soldiers who have SLRP in their enlistment contract may have
their student loans repaid.
In
regards to SLRP, ensure you speak with the unit finance
representative upon the one year anniversary of your loan or your
contract date (if your loan is already older than one year). Again,
it is the soldier's responsibility to follow up on Student Loan
repayments.
