VA educational benefit programs:
The Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty (MGIB-AD) can help you pay for education and training programs if you’ve served at least 2 years on active duty. Chapter 30 has four eligibility categories. The benefits generally apply to Veterans who began active-duty service for the first time after June 30, 1985, had their pay reduced by $100 a month for 12 months, and received an honorable discharge.
Chapter 30 benefits are paid every month directly to the Veteran. See the Chapter 30 Rates section on the GI Bill website for more information.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) is an educational benefit for individuals with active duty service after September 10, 2001. Post 9/11-GI Bill® benefits can be transferred to dependents while the service member is still on active duty.
If you are an active duty service member who wants to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits to your spouse or dependent children, please visit va.gov for more information.
The recently passed Forever GI Bill® - Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act, has removed the 15-year delimiting date for individuals whose last discharge or release from active duty is on or after January 1, 2013.
Learn MoreCH1606 is an educational program for members who are actively participating in the Selected Reserve. You may be entitled to receive up to 36 months of educational benefits, which end 10 years from the date you become eligible for the program.
Effective 4 May 2021, the Federal Tuition Assistance/Montgomery GI Bill® - Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606) restriction has been removed. This means that Reserve Component Service Members enrolled in a half-time or more program of study may now receive their FTA and CH 1606 MGIB-SR benefits simultaneously for the same course.
Learn MoreThis program is available to certain veterans who have a service-connected disability of 20 percent or greater. Although the date of entry to active service is not considered, students should use this benefit within twelve years of the date of discharge. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Learn MoreA child or spouse of a service-connected deceased or 100-percent-permanently disabled veteran may be eligible for VA educational assistance. The marital status of a dependent child is not a factor in determining eligibility. Benefits may be used until the dependent has reached the age of twenty-six or for eight years from the date that eligibility is determined, whichever is later.
