The Government Purchase Card (GPC) is the preferred method of payment for all Army tuition payments. The Government has a contract with US Bank/SmartPay to provide Master Card services. In accordance with the rules for Master Card merchants, if your school accepts Master Card as a form of payment from one party, you must accept Master Card from all parties. If your school does not accept Master Card as a form of payment, then you will need to request a GPC exception. A GPC exception request can be initiated by selecting other Payment Method during your school profile set-up. An Army Education Representative will contact you to discuss your GPC exception request.
