Navy TA pays 100% of tuition costs up to a fiscal year credit limit of 16 semester hours.(Waiver requests cannot exceed the FY $4500 DoD program limit.) Payment for tuition and fees will not exceed $250.00 per semester hour.

- Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans - The subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans are low-interest loans and require repayment beginning six months after falling below half-time status.
Upper Iowa University Programs are approved to certify qualifying learners to receive veterans' benefits. For additional information on applying for veterans' benefits, changing your place of training or how courses are certified, contact the Veterans' Administration certifying official at your program office. It is extremely important that you indicate on your registration for each class that you want the course certified for veterans' benefits.
Upper Iowa University will also notify the Veterans Administration of any change in status including administrative withdrawal or withdrawal from a course. With a change in status, the learner may be required to refund benefits. Student reimbursement will be calculated by the VA and is determined separately from any eligible refund under Upper Iowa University's policy.
