# §21.7075. Entitlement to tuition assistance top-up.


An individual who is entitled to educational assistance under 38 U.S.C. chapter 30 is also entitled to 36 months of tuition assistance top-up. This entitlement is parallel to, and does not replace, the entitlement to educational assistance available under [§ 21.7072](/cfr/38/21.7072.md). If the individual receives tuition assistance top-up, VA will make a charge against both the entitlement under [§ 21.7072](/cfr/38/21.7072.md) and the entitlement under this section. The charge will be as described in [§ 21.7076(b)(10)](/cfr/38/21.7076.md?p=b-10).
