Applying for FTA or SEAP

Students who would like more information on Tuition Assistance or SEAP should visit the specific website for complete details regarding each program.

If an eligible Service member chooses to use TA, they must first speak with the ESO (Education Service Office) within their military service prior to enrolling for classes.  Additionally, Service Members who are utilizing TA must take courses that are identified within their designated degree plan/pathway.

***Please note that TA programs require that you apply for funds in advance, sometimes beginning the process as much as 60 days in advance of the term start date.  Research the fund you are interested in, and read the instructions completely, so that you are prepared.  Once enrolled in courses at PRCC, you may contact your PRCC campus VA Representative for assistance in obtaining a copy of your student schedule, student statement, and a copy of your degree plan.  Once your TA or SEAP has been approved, it is your responsibility to provide the VA Represetative with a copy of your Authorization/Approval for invoicing.
