Tuition & Fees

Online Military College

Active Duty Military, Veterans and Family Members
Grantham University has provided educational opportunities to service members and their families since 1951. We believe that every service member, veteran, and member of a military family should have the opportunity to pursue a college degree. In honor of the men and women who serve in every branch of the United States Armed Forces, Grantham University offers several scholarships for active duty military, guard, reserve, veterans, and military family members.

Don’t let a rigorous schedule, frequent deployments, or relocations keep you from achieving your dreams. Earn your degree no matter where the military sends you.

At Grantham University, military professionals earn their associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree in the most efficient way possible. Depending on the number of transfer credits earned, and the amount of time you have to devote to your studies, you could earn your degree in as little as two years.

As an accredited university, and a member of Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC), Grantham University is approved by all branches of the military for tuition assistance and is approved for the payment of VA benefits. Military and professional training as well as prior college course work, CLEP, DANTES, and DSST exams can qualify for college credits.

Military Tuition Assistance
Active duty, National Guard, Reserve, and Veterans may be eligible for tuition assistance and/or scholarships. TA pays up to $250.00 per credit hour until the fiscal year (FY)* cap is reached. Some National Guardsmen and Reservists may receive only 75% TA benefits or $187.50 per credit hour.

*Each branch of the military has its own criteria for the amount of TA a service member receives.

Military Spouse Financial Assistance Program – MyCAA

Grantham University has partnered with the Department of Defense to offer military spouses up to $4,000 in financial assistance through the new Career Advancement Account (MyCAA). This program was established to support military spouses in pursuit of education, training, licensing, credentialing, and employment in high growth, high demand portable careers.

DANTES Reimbursement
Grantham courses have Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) approval for tuition reimbursement. For more information on this financing program, a student should contact the Educational Service Officer on his/her base and a University representative.

Tuition Assistance Top-Up
The Code of Federal Regulations states an active duty service member may not receive VA benefits for the same courses for which he/she receives Tuition Assistance (TA) from the military. To help cover potential out-of-pocket expenses for a student using TA, the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) was amended to permit the VA to pay a Tuition Assistance Top-Up benefit.

The amount of the benefit can be equal to the difference between the total cost of a college course and the amount of TA that is paid by the military for the course.  Top-Up is the only VA program that will pay a student on active duty and receiving TA for the same course(s).

These claims are handled differently from claims for MGIB without TA.  For Top-Up claims, a student will not need to check in with the school official who certifies VA benefits. The VA does not need an enrollment certification on VA Form 22-1999.  A student will not need to check for approval of the program for VA benefits. Approval is not an issue because Top-Up is payable for any course for which TA is payable under Department of Defense (DoD) criteria.
