New GI Bill Benefit Overview

Week of June 23, 2008

The new GI Bill (Chapter 33) or so-called Post-9/11 GI Bill, boasts the most comprehensive education benefits package since the original GI Bill was signed into law in 1944. The new bill goes well beyond helping to pay for tuition; many veterans who served after Sept. 11, 2001, will get full tuition and fees, a new monthly housing stipend, and a $1,000 a year stipend for books and supplies. The new bill also gives Reserve and Guard members who have been activated for more than 90 days since 9/11 access to the same GI Bill benefits. Get eligibility and benefit coverage details.

Now is the time to use your GI Bill. Take the first step and Find Military Friendly Schools that will give you college credit for military service and work around you schedule.
