Financing Your Education

There are many ways for veterans, active-duty service members, eligible dependents, and ROTC cadets to fund their degree at Rutgers-Newark. Whether you plan to utilize a United States Department of Veterans Affairs benefit, military tuition assistance, the New Jersey National Guard Tuition Program, or other sources of funding will depend on your personal circumstances, so it's up to you to get information to weigh your decision carefully.

Please contact the Office of Veteran Affairs for more information on these benefits and how they work here at Rutgers-Newark.

Military Leave Policy

If you are called to active duty while enrolled in courses at Rutgers-Newark, inform your school's dean and the Office of Veteran Affairs immediately. The Rutgers University policy for Military Leave, Academic Credit, and Tuition Refunds – Undergraduate and Graduate Students provides you with options based on when your activation occurs. Failure to contact your school’s dean and the Office of Veteran Affairs could result in you incurring a financial debt to one or both.
