These benefits lasted through the Korean War.NEXT
- Repeating the sins of WWI, the Vietnam era GI Bill was drastically reduced and limited.Many veterans called it the Stereo Bill because it was just enough money to by a nice stereoNEXT
- The Montgomery GI Bill was created in 1984 as a peacetime enlistment benefit It simply paid a monthly allowance that wouldn’t cover community college in most states.The average veteran went to school for 2 years, enough for a Associates Degree, then quit.NEXT
- In 2008 Congress renewed the social contract with men and women in uniform by creating the Post 9/11 GI BillAs in WWII veterans of the previous era stepped up to ensure that OIF and OEF vets did not get substandard benefits and that the foundation would be laid for the Next Greatest Generation.Eligibility is based solely on Post 9/11 Active duty service.NEXT

- The following duty does not qualify for the Post 9/11 benefits:Initial enlistment obligation for Service Academy & ROTC graduatesInitial enlistment for Student Loan Repayment Program recipientsNon-federal activations of the National Guard (e.g. Title 32 AGR)What level do the example veterans qualify for?NEXT
- CLICKThe Post 9/11 GI Bill can only be used at a degree granting school. This means an A.A. degree or higher.CLICKFor ExampleCLICKVocational schools like the AAA school of trucking CLICKare not eligible for the GI BillCLICKHowever a community College with a trucking programCLICKIs eligible because it is a degree granting institutionCan the example veterans use the New GI Bill at the School of their choice?NEXT
- Tuition and Fees will be paid directly to the College from the VA. The veteran is taken out of the equation. Will cover up to the most expensive public undergraduate program in each stateIncludes any mandatory charges by the college (e.g., student fees & health insurance premiums)NEXT
- In an attempt to help veterans, the VA ended up making this the most complicated part.CLICKEssentially now there are 2 caps: a tuition cap and a separate fee capCLICKTuition can only be spent on tuition and fees can only be spent on feesNEXT
- For example: CLICKIn California where the cap on Fees is $6,5000. However, since public colleges in California do not chagre tuitionCLICKA veteran will receive $0 when attending a private university and will have to pay the remainder out of pocketSchools define what is considered tuition and fees. Nothing prevents a school from simply changing what they call their charges?Veterans entitled to less than the 100% rate, will get a percentage of the tuition cost and not a percentage of the cap. If the cap is $1,000 and tuition is only $100, a veteran getting 80% will only get $80Based on the example vets, how much would these vets receive for tuition/fees?NEXT
- New VA program that will cover the tuition/fee gap if a school costs more than the capCLICKUsed for more expensive schools like grad schools CLICKand private universities (yellow ribbon)If a school agrees to offer a veterans only scholarship, the VA will match dollar for dollarNEXT
- For Example: School costs $18,000 CLICKand state cap Is $8,000 CLICKthe “gap” is $10,000. CLICKIf the school gives a scholarship to the veteran, for let say $5000CLICKThe VA will match every dollar a school contributes up to the cost of the program ($5,000)CLICKThis means schools like Harvard and Yale could be fully covered if they participateProgram only available to veterans entitled to 100%NEXT
