TA DECIDE — Make Informed Decisions for Your Education

Use the TA DECIDE tool to:

• Find out if the institution you’re looking at is eligible to work with DOD’s tuition assistance.
• Learn about first-time, full-time and in-state tuition rates.
• Check on the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and the Yellow Ribbon program, which assists with private institutions and out-of-state tuition.

You can also compare other costs and fees like books, supplies, and room and board.

Evaluate the quality of your education:

• Compare institutions in terms of their national accreditation.
• Explore the number of tuition-assistance participants attending the institution.
• Find out whether your educational institution has signed the DOD Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding, an agreement that demonstrates a commitment to provide quality education and offer tuition assistance to service members.
• Speak with an education counselor to get answers to your questions and help make your education decision.

Explore what your potential institution offers in terms of coursework and classrooms, including:

• Learning methods
• Degree level
• Classification of instructional programs
