New GI Bill Pays Big

The New Post-9/11 GI Bill is worth more than $49,000. In addition to paying tuition and fees directly to the school, you may be eligible for a monthly living and book stipend. Plus if you qualify, you can receive a one time relocation allowance or a one time reimbursement for certification or licensing exam. See the full New GI Bill Overview.

The New GI Bill may be able to fund an entire bachelor's degree. A good way to get started is to search for schools that not only work with the new GI Bill, but offer college credit for service. Conduct a quick search for military friendly schools now.
