How do I apply for Tuition Assistance (TA)?
Complete a Document of Authorization
Ask your employer or another non-military source to provide a document that includes the following:
- Your full name and UMGC Student ID number
- The term your TA covers
- A list of fees the TA covers (like tuition, tech fees, etc.)
- Billing address of your employer or agency
- Signature and contact info for the authorizing official
- Federal Tax ID or EIN (if this is your agency's first TA request to UMGC)
The document can be a purchase order, a standard TA form, or a signed letter on company letterhead.
Submit Your Authorization Document
Submit through the UMGC Help Center:
- Open a case
- Select Billing/Payments > Tuition Assistance
- Upload your document and click Submit
Note: You can also email the document to thirdparty@umgc.edu .
Military Students: You need to request Tuition Assistance (TA) through your branch's education portal. Once UMGC receives your approved TA, it will be added to your account within 2 business days.
