Tuition Assistance Program Information
Students planning to use any form of tuition assistance, whether through the state of Missouri or the Department of Defense, should always verify eligibility requirements with their branch of service.
Each military branch has its own tuition assistance application form and procedures. Prior to enrolling in courses at Saint Louis University, we ask that each student work with their branch specific education center, Education Service Officer (ESO) or unit point of contact (POC) to review requirements for each of these programs.
