The Getting Started Checklist is your step by step guide to assist you in successfully enrolling in courses with IVC.


Education Benefits

Tuition Assistance (TA):  TA is offered to eligible active duty military personnel to assist in the cost of tuition.  Please note that TA cannot be utilized for non-tuition education costs such as fees, books, supplies, etc.

Click your branch of service below to learn more about the eligibility requirements for TA.

Top-up Program:  This program is available to eligible active duty military personnel who would like to utilize their GI Bill® to supplement additional education expenses in which TA does not cover.  Click here to learn more about the Top-up Program.

The Post 9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) or Montgomery GI Bill®-Active Duty (Chapter 30) provides educational assistance to eligible active duty military personnel.  The Post 9/11 GI Bill® allows eligible servicemembers to transfer all or an unused portion of benefits to their spouse or dependent children.
