Air Force Reserve: Tuition Assistance
Air Force Reserve students may request Tuition Assistance (TA) reimbursement through their military education office. This means that payment must be made directly to the University and students will receive reimbursement upon successful completion of the course. Please note that TA must be requested BEFORE the start date in order to receive reimbursement.
*Please Note: students using Air Force Reserve reimbursement Tuition Assistance will be responsible for making payment arrangements via Financial Check-in by the civilian financial check-in deadlines.
Students will be given the option of a deferred payment plan if they submit a copy of their reimbursement TA form to luomilitary@liberty.edu. Additional information on the TA process is listed below.
