When you are ready to apply for admission, follow the steps outlined below.
Visit your Base Education Center and talk to an Education Service Officer (ESO) about why you want to attend college and which school you would like to attend. Your ESO can give you the essential paperwork regarding your tuition assistance (TA) and advise you on your eligibility for any military education benefits.

Once we’ve received all required information and documents, we will review your application.
After your application for admission is complete, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for other federal aid resources.
- Apply here to create a FSA ID, which allows you to sign and submit your FAFSA online.
