GI Bill®
Educational benefits are available under the GI Bill® for eligible servicemen and women, veterans, spouses, and dependents. Veterans may be eligible for Veteran Readiness (VA rehab) if they suffered a service-connected disability in active service, and if the VA determines that they need VA rehab to overcome the disability. Veterans who entered the military on or after July 1, 1977, may receive benefits under the contributory plan. Complete details should be obtained from a VA counselor. Generally, survivor’s benefits and disability benefits are available to survivors of deceased veterans, spouses, spouses of living veterans, and children between the ages of 18 and 26 years when death or permanent and total disability has occurred. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information about VA benefits.
