Tuition and Tuition Assistance
Student Financial Responsibilities
Students are responsible for any and all costs associated with their course. If a student damages an affiliated agency or MVHS EMS Equipment equipment or property, they may be held responsible for costs or damages.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
is a U.S. federal law enacted in 2014 to strengthen and improve the nation’s public workforce system. WIOA aims to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market, while also helping employers find the skilled workers they need. WIOA emphasizes coordination among workforce development programs, promotes work-based learning, supports youth and individuals with barriers to employment, and encourages local and regional planning to align workforce development with economic needs.

Tuition assistance for veterans, active duty members
Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application processes and restrictions. This money is usually paid directly to the institution by the individual service.
Additionally, active duty members may elect to use the GI Bill Top-Up benefit to supplement tuition and fees not covered by tuition assistance.
TA is not a loan; it should be viewed as money you have earned just like your base pay. TA can be used in addition to other Federal Student Aid programs such as: Pell Grant, Federal Direct Student Loans, and Title IV Funding. Since TA is considered a first resource for educational assistance, students may not be eligible for the NYS TAP Award. Since TA is not a loan, the funds do not have to be paid back.
