Earn your Degree while your expenses are paid for as well

Armed Forces Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.

Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process' and restrictions. This money is usually paid directly to the institution by the individual service. TA is not a loan; it should be viewed as money you have earned just like your base pay.

Additionally active duty members may elect to use the MGIB "top-up" in addition to their service provided TA, to cover high cost courses. This money is paid directly to the student.

GI BILL - Earn While You Learn!

GI Bill benefits are available for service members to help with education and training costs, There are four simple steps to get your benefits, they can lead to more than $38,000 in education benefits--the ones you earned ($1,101 a month for 36 months) The monthly payment is determined by your student status (full-time, half time, or part time) and your duty status. Your enrollment at American College of Technology is considered full time status. With American College of Technology, you save money using the GI BILL. We have introduced for the first time a no-interest payment plan for qualified VA students. Your monthly tuition payment is $690 only. The rest of the VA monthly benefit is yours to keep, you earned it. ACoT is the only school which enables you to keep almost half of your VA money, why go with other schools and have no money left for your personal expenses. ACoT can do that because our tuition is half the tuition of most Colleges and Universities.

If you are a veteran you will need to include a copy of your DD 214 Discharge Paperwork. If you are a member of the Selective Reserve you may need to include a copy of DD Form 2384-1, Notice of Basic Eligibility which was given to you by your unit when you became eligible for the MGIB-SR.

Step Three
In most cases the school will send your application along with their paperwork to the VA Regional Processing Office with jurisdiction over the geographic area where you will train. This will expedite the process.
For American College of Technology, the VA Regional Process office is
Saint Louis - Missouri, the school will send all necessary documentations to the appropriate
VA office.

Within 8-10 weeks you should receive a declaration of eligibility and a letter explaining your GI Bill benefits. Keep in mind that it is not uncommon to get a letter from the VA requesting more information. You will have to answer the VA's requests to be determined eligible to complete the process.

Please Note: Once you decide on a school apply immediately. Most schools require your funding is in place before you are enrolled. At American College you can enroll while you are going through the GI BIll / TA process. Just send us a copy of your application or change of school documents and we will start the enrollment process.

There is never any out of pocket cost with ACOT. We will allow you to start school while the VA Affairs office processes your paperwork.

Step Four
Send a copy of your VA eligibility to American College of Technology.

Once you begin receiving your benefit checks (Direct Deposit) you will have to complete the Web Automated Verification of Eligibility (WAVE) each month to continue receiving your monthly benefits payments. The WAVE is a simple process that requires you to either log-on to the WAVE website or call their toll-free number at 1-888-GIBILL-1. It only takes a couple of minutes, please remember that your benefits will not continue each month without this process being done every month.
