Tuition Assistance Top-Up (TATU) is an augmentation to the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) - Active Duty education program. It permits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to pay a benefit equal to the difference between the total cost of a college course and the amount of Tuition Assistance (TA) that is paid by the Army for the course, up to the Veteran's rate.

Army Reserve Soldiers on drill status are ineligible for TATU.
