Department of Defense Tuition Assistance
Active-duty Service members and other eligible Service members who plan to use Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) must consult with their Educational Services Officer (ESO), military counselor, or appropriate Military Service education office and receive Tuition Assistance approval from their Military Service prior to enrolling in courses for which TA will be used.
Xavier University of Louisiana does not determine eligibility for Department of Defense Tuition Assistance. TA eligibility and authorization are determined by the Service member's respective Military Service.
Service members should work directly with their ESO, military counselor, or Military Service education office regarding TA eligibility, requirements, and approval. After receiving the appropriate TA authorization, students should follow Xavier University of Louisiana's procedures for submitting their authorization and completing applicable enrollment and benefit-processing requirements.
