Your Military Education Benefits

Members of the Armed Forces can take advantage of Military Tuition Assistance. TA allows you to have the military pay for your off-duty education, whether you want to learn in a classroom or through online distance learning.

The Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) provides veterans up to 36 months of financial support for education, payable for 10 years following their date of discharge. Active Duty military members can use the MGIB Top-up Benefit to pay any remaining tuition costs not covered by TA.

The Post 9-11 GI Bill provides up to 36 months of financial support for education and housing, payable for up to 15 years following a military member’s date of discharge. To qualify you must have served for at least 90 days on or after Sept. 11, 2001.

The Yellow Ribbon Program is available to help pay remaining costs that exist if tuition exceeds the amount a veteran receives for the Post 9/11 GI Bill. A participating school agrees to pay a portion of the remaining amount and the VA matches that portion.

MyCAA, Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts offers spouses of junior service members $4,000 to pursue an education.

If military benefits don’t pay for the cost of your college education or you don’t qualify, you could receive Pell Grants, Stafford Loans or private college loans to pay for your tuition, books and fees.
