Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend High Point University for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of the TA funds originally awarded.
In order to comply with the Department of Defense policy, High Point University will return any unearned TA funds on a prorated basis through at least the 60% portion of the period for which the funds were provided. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student withdraws. The unearned funds will be returned to the military Service branch accordingly.
Instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service obligation, High Point University will work with the individual Service member to identify solutions that will not result in student debt for the returned portion.
