Active Duty ArmyIgnitED Students are required to submit a signed, Evaluated Degree Plan to your ArmyIgnitED Portal when applying for Tuition Assistance (TA).  If you have already been evaluated and have your current Official Evaluation, that can be submitted to the portal.  If don’t have the document needed to submit for TA, contact us directly at [email protected] or 1-800-792-3348 X1722.  We can assist you by providing a signed degree plan that can be submitted for your TA processing.  Then you can continue with the below steps to have your official evaluation completed.
