ArmyIgnitED
ArmyIgnitED is the virtual gateway for all eligible Active Duty Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve Soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA) online, anytime, anywhere for classroom and distance learning. It allows Soldiers to reach their educational goals. It is also the virtual gateway for Army Civilians to apply for their Civilian education, training, and leader development events. Visit the ArmyIgnitED website to get started!
If you do not have an ArmyIgnitED account, please contact your education center. Prior to using TA, soldiers must have an approved Education Path in ArmyIgnitED. Once enrolled with Barton, we will upload your enrollment information into ArmyIgnitED. Soldiers can then request TA the next business day. Enrollments should be completed 10 days prior to the start of class in order to allow time for TA to be requested.
