Question

As a Service member in a SOC DNS or CTE, what protections or benefits am I losing with the sunset of these programs?

Answer

All post-secondary institutions that agree to accept Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits for Service members matriculating at their institutions have signed the Department of Defense (DoD) Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (www.dodmou.com).  The protections and best practices that were once unique commitments of SOC participating institutions are now required of all institutions with a signed DoD MOU.
