TA Information
UTEP complies with all requirements of the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding. With the guidelines for use of Military Tuition Assistance (TA) managed by each individual military service branch, students wishing to use Military TA should contact the MSSC Fort Bliss Counselor:
Darren Pursel
Bldg 641 Taylor Rd
Fort Bliss, TX 79916
Office: 915-219-4402
Per DoD TA requirements, Military TA must be requested and approved prior to the start date of the each term. Service members can register for classes prior to securing Military TA but they will be solely responsible for all tuition costs until approval is obtained from their military service branch and the proper documents are submitted to the university. Only courses listed in the service member’s evaluated education plan will be approved for Military TA.
Good information to know:
- Military TA can be used concurrently with both financial aid and VA education benefits if eligibility exists.
- Students should submit their FAFSA to be considered for financial aid and discuss eligibility for VA education benefits with the MSSC Fort Bliss Counselor.
