Tuition Assistance (TA) and Maryland National Guard Benefits
Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit paid to eligible service members. TA is available for courses included in an approved academic program or certificate that are offered either in the classroom or online. Students should submit the appropriate documents to the Student Accounts Office certifying that they have approval for TA. Active duty service members must speak with their Educational Service Office (ESO) or counselor within their military service prior to enrolling. A joint education agreement also exists between the Maryland National Guard and Stevenson University. Active Guard members enrolled in an accelerated undergraduate program can receive a maximum of a 50% tuition discount for the first six credit hours per semester. The cost of the first six credit hours will be based on the traditional undergraduate part-time per credit rate. In the event that the SUO undergraduate standard tuition rate is less than the 50% part-time traditional undergraduate rate, employees will receive the lower tuition rate. The appropriate paperwork should be submitted to the Student Accounts Office to qualify for this discount. Service members desiring information about courses and degree requirements should contact the SCO in the Registrar's Office.
