The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) GI Bill Comparison Tool helps veterans, service members and their dependents to make informed choices on where, when and how they will utilize their GI Bill benefits. The tool is a way for users to research public, private and for-profit institutions on their own. The comparison tool lists whether a school is nationally or regionally accredited, as well as highlighting with a caution flag if a school has been placed on probation by an accreditor. The tool also lists the number of GI Bill users on campus, their graduation rate and annual average salary of graduates. For more information, read the VA VAntage Point Blog.
