Please read carefully this synopsis of program rule changes. 

Please instruct all Guardsmen about the following changes to the Tuition Program which are effective immediately:

1. Effective for classes beginning 1 July 1999 or after, the Military Department will pay 75% tuition assistance.

2. The Tuition Assistance Office will now forward approved tuition assistance applications directly to the educational institution. The member will be notified of approval/disapproval.

3. Approval dates of tuition assistance applications will remain the same:

a. Approval of tuition assistance applications will occur on the 5^th of June for semester or academic terms starting between 1 July to 30 September.

b. The approval of tuition assistance applications will occur on the 5^th of September for semester or academic terms starting between 1 October to 31 December.

c. The approval of tuition assistance applications will occur on the 5^th of December for semester or academic terms starting between 1 January to 31 March.

d. The approval of tuition assistance applications will occur on the 5^th of March for semester or academic terms starting between 1 April to 30 June.

4. In order to be considered in the tuition assistance application approval process, the tuition assistance application MUST be received by the Military Department’s Tuition Assistance Office not later than the specific approval dates for which tuition assistance is requested.

5. TAG tuition approval authority MAY approve a one-time exception to policy for missed deadlines of any timetable/suspense date. This will be done to accommodate unforeseen emergencies which will result in late action. This policy will be strictly enforced and no additional exceptions will be granted.

6. All NNG members who are approved for tuition assistance will provide the Military Department’s Tuition Assistance Office with an accurate list of classes within 10 working days following the start of each term/semester. Failure to provide this information will result in the loss of approval of the requested tuition assistance and the student will be required to pay the Military Department for charged tuition costs.

7. In no case will tuition assistance be paid by the Military Department for more hours than were originally approved for the term.
