The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays tuition and fees up to 36 months. This benefit is available for individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, dependent children and spouses using benefits transferred by a qualifying veteran or service member and also Purple Heart recipients who were honorably discharged after September 11, 2001 with any amount of service.

The Montgomery GI Bill® is another veterans education benefit to help with tuition and training costs. There are three programs available: Active Duty, Selected Reserve, and Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP).

The Top-Up program allows you to use the GI Bill® to supplement tuition and fees not covered by tuition assistance. This is a good option if you plan to use tuition assistance to complete your degree while on active duty, or if you’re just taking a few courses.

This education benefit for military veterans helps with Veteran Readiness & Employment services for veterans who have a service-connected disability of 10% and higher.

If you’re the spouse or child of a veteran or active service member who has died, is captured or missing, or is permanently or totally disabled as the result of a service-connected disability, you may be able to get help paying for college or professional training through the DEA program or Fry Scholarship.
