VA Military Education Benefit Resources
The Montgomery GI Bill® (MGIB) program provides up to 36 months of military education benefits. This benefit may be used for degree and certificate programs.
College Credit for Military Service
Your military service may have earned you college credit. Many schools and colleges award military students credit towards a degree based on training, coursework, and occupational specialty.
Military Spouse and Dependents
One unique and exciting feature of the Post-9/11 GI Bill® is that if the service member does not use all their earned education benefits, those benefits can be passed on to the individual’s spouse or children.
