How do I get Tuition Assistance?
Once you enroll at Trident University, you will receive a Registration Confirmation via e-mail. Please take this letter to your Education Center to have your TA processed. Once the TA is processed, you must fax your TA acceptance documents to (714) 364-9793. Within 24 hours, you will receive a “TA Confirmation” from your Tuition Assistance Coordinator.



What other options can we look into while waiting for TA to be processed?
Promissory note, Veteran Affairs, Financial Aid and pay out-of-pocket


  1. Promissory Note: This is a document that you can use to personally guarantee to TUI that you are responsible for all tuition and fees. If you are sure that you will get your TA and would like to speed up the process, you may send us a signed promissory note. Please fill out the Promissory Form online.
  2. VA Benefits: If this is your first session using VA benefits for tuition, and you have not already started the paperwork, please feel free to contact our VA Representatives for further guidance.
