GI Bill Educational Benefits
The term GI Bill refers to any Department of Veterans Affairs education benefit earned by members of Active Duty, Selected Reserve and National Guard Armed Forces and their families. The benefit is designed to help servicemembers and eligible veterans cover the costs associated with getting an education or training. The GI Bill has several programs and each is administrated differently — depending on a person’s eligibility and duty status.
In addition to GI Bill benefits, veterans may be eligible for state, federal, and private education programs, scholarships, and college funds that can help them reach specific educational goals. To learn more about the many education benefits available, visit the following related links:
