Many colleges, for admission into graduate level degree programs, require the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). The GRE and GMAT Testing Program reimburses Soldiers for the test fee cost of these computer-based admissions tests on a one-time-only basis.

Registration, rescheduling, cancellation, and “no show’ fees are not reimbursable. Soldiers are responsible for scheduling the test and paying for the test fee cost up-front and must seek reimbursement within 90 days from the test date.

The GRE General Test and GMAT are available exclusively through Prometric Testing Centers and certain selective college and university test centers. This program does not reimburse the cost of GRE Subject Exams.

  Visit the Graduate Record Examination Web site at www.gre.org.
