Military Education Benefits - Getting A Degree Over The Internet Is Safe And Easy In The Military
Making the decision to work towards an advanced or bachelors degree is a big decision in many people's lives. For some veterans, returning to school after leaving the armed forces is a pivotal move that determines the direction in which their life will go. It can be quite a daunting task to try and work out how to pay for school, but luckily there are many GI bill options to help ex-servicemen and women with their military degrees.
In 1944 Congress passed the Montgomery GI Bill to help veterans afford college and get back on their feet after World War II. Since then more than two million veterans have used the GI Bill to pay for their education. The new Post 9/11 GI Bill (updated by Congress last year) gives educational funding to veterans who have served at least 90 days since September 11, 2001. Eligible soldiers must have been honorably discharged or served at least 30 days before suffering a service-related injury. Students can get other student loans and government aid as the GI Bill is not considered financial aid by colleges and universities.
The new GI Bill covers 100% of tuition equal to the cost of the most expensive in-state public university. Student soldiers can choose to attend a school in their home town or take classes online. This makes keeping up with a civilian job or family possible and this is a high priority for many.
Opting for a full-time bachelors degree often means that the student can only work a limited number of hours. To help out with living expenses, the Post 9/11 GI Bill offers a monthly housing allowance for individuals with dependents.
The Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty is another option for education funding for soldiers. Eligible soldiers must have an honorable discharge along with their high school diploma or GED. The bill covers 36 months of education, an estimated $40,000 value. Soldiers have ten years to use their education benefits. However, if they reenlist, the benefit time limit starts over.
In addition to federal aid, there are over $300 million in private scholarships and grants for members of the military, veterans and their families. For example, there are scholarships for disabled veterans, veterans of foreign wars, and veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom. Even if your tuition is fully covered by the GI Bill, it's a good idea to pursue private scholarships. The money can be used to cover the cost of books, fees, and living expenses.
If a veteran has children, they should investigate these options that help pay for housing or childcare. Even if a service member chooses to attend an online college, having this support can relieve some of the financial stress or responsibility allowing them more time to study. This may often have the advantage of accelerating learning.
There are millions of dollars available for veterans and their families to use for military schools options. The US government provides non-taxable money through the GI Bill and Tuition Assistance. But there are also private GI Bill possibilities. Through these programs an ex-service member can exchange years of service for a fully paid college education.
