Your Enrollment Coach can help you determine your eligibility.

Which monies are eligible for a refund?

Only tuition payments made personally out of pocket by the student are eligible for a refund through TSTC’s Money-Back Guarantee program. Financial aid sources such as Pell Grants, tuition exemptions, and other third-party funding do not qualify.

If tuition was paid using student loans, any eligible refund will be returned directly to the lending agency. Similarly, if tuition was covered through Veterans Benefits, the refund will be issued to the appropriate government entity—either the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Department of Defense (DoD)—not to the student. If Hazlewood Act benefits were used, no tuition will be refunded; however, the hours will be credited back to the student’s remaining Hazlewood eligibility.

Students utilizing VA education benefits are eligible to participate in the MBG program. However, they are strongly encouraged to consult with TSTC’s Veteran Services Office prior to requesting a refund, as doing so may affect their VA stipends or housing allowances. The Veteran Services Office can provide guidance on any potential impacts.

Please note that the MBG program does not cover additional personal expenses, including but not limited to books, housing, tools, laptops, or other non-tuition-related costs.

Once a refund request is approved, TSTC will process the refund in accordance with institutional policies and notify the student regarding the expected timeline for disbursement.
