Military Education Benefits
WGU degree programs are approved for both GI Bill® benefits and Military Tuition Assistance (MTA), making education affordable for veterans, active-duty service members, family members, and those in the National Guard or Reserves. With WGU’s low tuition, these benefits may cover the full cost of tuition, fees, and books.
The Forever GI Bill® expanded eligibility for many service members and removed the 15-year time limit for recent veterans. Military personnel can apply for Tuition Assistance through their installation education office.
WGU partners with the USNCC and CCAF, making it easier for service members to earn an associate or bachelor's degree.
The competency-based approach at WGU is so unique because it allows you to accelerate through what you already know and focus more on what you don't. You don't have any set time to log in, so you can literally study at any time.
