Service Members and is a first payer. For more information on these programs, students
should contact the Education Service Officer (ESO) of their unit. Eligible service
members should receive approval from an ESO or counselor within the military service

To comply with Department of Defense policy, Oklahoma State University Institute of
Technology will return any unearned TA funds on a prorate basis through 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
stops attending. These funds are returned to the military Service branch.
Instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service obligation,
the educational institution will work with the affected Service member to identify
solutions.
100% of TA funds will be returned to the TA program prior to the start of classes
and up to completion of 15%.0% of TA funds will be returned after 60% of classes have
been completed. If classes are dropped after completion of 15%, but before 60% completion,
