The fees and expenses listed above are subject to change.

Since the $1950 per term Student Services Fee (“TU Student Services Fee” on your bill) is unique to the FTP Program and not a required charge for our regular, non-FTP college population, VA regulations do not allow for certification of this charge as part of your “tuition and fees” to be paid by VA education benefits. As such, please note that if you are using VA educational benefits to pay your bill, the VA will NOT cover this particular charge.
