Policy Statement: Tuition Assistance funds are earned pro-rate up through the 60% port the enrollment Refund Calculation: A student’s last date of attendance documented by Fortis Institute will be used to calculate unearned Tuition Assistance funds. Unearned funds will be refunded by Fortis Institute no later than 45 days after the date of determination of the date of the student’s withdrawal.
Return of unearned Tuition Assistance is not the same as a refund. If a student withdraws prior to attending more than 60% of the enrollment period or term, Fortis Institute will return to the government the unearned TA funds, not a refund to the student. The return of any TA program funds will be returned directly to the Military Department, not to the Service Member. The requirement to return unearned TA funds applies to the TA portion only. Any calculation performed by the institution would consider only TA program funds.
