Both the Montgomery and Post-9/11 GI Bills offer huge monthly payments to help cover the costs of getting a degree. The Montgomery GI Bill offers a monthly tax free benefit of $1,321 for full-time students and is paid directly to you. The Post-9/11 GI Bill monthly rate depends on what state your school is in. It is paid directly to the school and will match up to the highest tuition and fee rates of your state college or university. In addition to paying tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill may offer a monthly housing stipend. Get more information on the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill may not be the best option for everyone. Make sure you know which benefit will end up paying more. Do a side by side personalized comparison with the Military.com GI Bill Calculator.
