Presentation Transcript

1. Applying for Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Required documents Degree Plan- A listing of all of the courses required by the school to complete the Degree they are seeking. One thing to remember is that the document cannot be alterable. Meaning, when I click in that document in the soldier's file, I should not be able to alter the document. The most effective ways to accomplish this is to fill personalize your degree plan with your advisor, with pen-and-ink printing or annotations for your selected courses. Then have the advisor approve and sign. Scan this as a .pdf or image file and upload in GoArmyEd. Cost Analysis/Statement- This is simply a line-by-line breakout of tuition and fees for the student to go to school at their chosen Home College. This too should be a scanned in document or screenshot, so it is not alterable. Current Semester Class Schedule – listing of courses that the student is currently signed up to take. Statement of Understanding (SOU)- This is the three page form that must be signed by the soldier and their Company Commander, or above. If other than the Commander signs line 14a of that document, the Authorized Signature Card must also be uploaded as a separate document to eFile. See attached blank SOU……. See Following Slides for Details!!!!
