Tuition and Reimbursement Payments

NDSP processes most tuition and reimbursement payments and sends them to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) for disbursement. Once the processed payment leaves the NDSP office, it takes DFAS 20-25 days to make the disbursement. Schools and other payees are sent an email by NDSP when the payment is sent to DFAS explaining why the payment is being made. We strongly encourage all payees to keep this email so when the funds are electronically posted to their account by DFAS, they will have a record of why the payment was made.

NOTE: Sponsors should know that the mailing address provided to NDSP should match the mailing address that they have in MyPay; otherwise, DFAS will reject any payments that are submitted on their behalf. This is usually an APO, FPO, Dulles or Washington address and never a foreign address.

NDSP can also pay school tuition payments via credit card. Please contact the NDSP office for more information.

To ensure payments are processed in a timely manner, please ensure that each claim has all the required signatures and documentation. Send by email (preferable) or fax to the NDSP Administrative Office:

NOTE: The rate of the educational allowances for each location is set by the US Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) and are posted at the US Department of State. Remember that NDSP does not have the authority to process any claims that exceeds the sponsor's DSSR rate.
