Leaders,
Due to the current fiscal challenges, the Secretary of the Army has approved
the suspension of Tuition Assistance (TA) effective 1700 EST Friday, 8 Mar 13.
The suspension applies to all components and will remain effect until the
fiscal situation matures.
Effective 1700 EST 8 Mar 13, Soldiers will no longer be permitted to submit
new requests for Tuition Assistance through the GoArmyEd portal. Soldiers
currently enrolled and participating in courses approved for tuition
assistance are not affected and will be allowed to complete current course(s)
enrollment.
Soldiers can continue to access their GI Bill benefits, if applicable (either
the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) or the Post 9/11 GI Bill), or use another
funding sources (i.e. grants, scholarships, or Army National Guard Soldiers
using state Tuition Assistance). Soldiers should be encouraged to contact
their local education centers for additional information. Updated information
will also be posted to
www.goarmyed.com <http://www.goarmyed.com> .
The Army understands the impacts of this decision and will re-assess as the
fiscal situation matures.
Army Strong!
