Getting Started

While veteran's education benefits are often referred to as the GI Bill, there are actually several different categories. Which package of benefits you receive will depend upon your particular situation.

The best place to find information about your veteran's education benefits is the United States Department of Veterans Affairs website.

You may also find the Military Veterans and Service Members Student Checklist helpful.
