Subject: URGENT: OK National Guard May Lose Federal Funding to Attend
Your University (UNCLASSIFIED)

Dear University/School Representative,


PLEASE FORWARD MESSAGE TO UNIVERSITY/SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS.

If you have not already been notified via the attached letter, the
Department of Defense (DOD) has revised/updated the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) governing the acceptance of Federal Tuition
Assistance (FTA) payments for Service Member's (SM) voluntary civilian
education. DOD has placed a deadline of 31 December 2011 for all
institutions to have a signed MOU on record. If a school/university does
not have a signed MOU on file by 31 December 2011, then our Oklahoma
National Guard SMs will not be able to utilize FTA to attend your
institution on or after 1 January 2012. More information about this DOD
MOU can be found at www.dodmou.com. 


This office will be sending out the attached "FYI-Update" document via
distribution email to as many National Guard Units as possible in order
to inform our SMs about this issue and its' potential circumstances.


There is an understanding that schools/universities will make their
decisions based on what is best for their institutions. Please review
the DOD MOU and give proper attention and consideration. If your
institution can agree to the conditions of the DOD MOU, then please
perform the necessary steps to have a signed DOD MOU on record by 31
December 2011. If your institution has issues with signing the DOD MOU,
then please address those issues through www.dodmou.com and/or State
government officials. Thank you.
