Service Members
Kent State University Department of Defense Compliance Program
ºÚÁÏÍø is committed to the Department of Defense MOU. As part of our efforts to eliminate unfair, deceptive and abusive marketing aimed at service members, ºÚÁÏÍø does not provide commission, bonus or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on securing enrollment to any persons or entities engaged in student recruiting. ºÚÁÏÍø does not engage in high-pressure recruitment tactics for the purpose of securing service member enrollment. Students will opt-in to communications from the Admissions Office and be able to opt-out of future communications at any time.
PRIOR TO ENROLLING AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY
Please be sure to contact your Educational Services Officer (ESO) or Readiness NCO at your base or your specific branch of service prior to enrolling to ensure that ºÚÁÏÍø is the right selection for you.
FEDERAL TUITION ASSISTANCE (TA)
Did you know that as a service member you’re eligible for TA? Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process' and restrictions. This money is paid directly to the institution by the individual services. It provides 100% tuition & fees, not to exceed $250 per semester hour. ºÚÁÏÍø does not offer a military or tuition discount. The remaining balance must be paid by fee posted deadlines.
Eligible Service members must receive approval from an Educational Service Officer (ESO) or counselor within the Military Service prior to enrolling in Tuition Assistance (TA). For more information on how to apply go to /cavs/getstarted.
