GoArmyEd
Soldiers of Active Duty, Army Reserve, and National Guard can obtain federal tuition assistance monies to help fund their college educations through an active GoArmyEd account. GoArmyEd is the online portal whereby a soldier can apply for admission to a college, enroll in classes with that college, and receive 100% tuition assistance funding for those classes.
The Army tuition assistance program will provide up to 16 credits per Army fiscal year to assist a soldier in pursuing a certificate, an associate’s degree, a bachelor’s degree, or master’s degree. Soldiers must maintain satisfactory military performance on the job and a 2.00 or better grade point average in tuition assistance funded courses.
How to enroll in GoArmy Ed

A soldier who already has an active GoArmyEd account and wants to change to Jefferson
Community College must seek approval of an Army Education Center counselor.
Soldiers seeking Army tuition assistance funding classes should ONLY initiate admission and enrollment processes through GoArmyEd and NOT through campus offices.
Soldiers applying for admission to Jefferson through the GoArmyEd portal must still
meet admissions and other requirements to enroll in JCC classes conducted online, at Fort Drum, or on the main campus.
