Are there any additional benefits aside from tuition assistance?
Under the Post 9/11 GI Bill, Veterans may receive a monthly housing stipend determined by the zip code of the chosen institution of higher learning. However, those enrolled at a half-time status, enrolled solely in an online program, and those currently on active duty are not eligible to receive the housing allowance, although they still receive tuition assistance. You will also receive up to $1,000 per academic year to help cover the costs of books, supplies, and any additional fees. Depending upon how the academic year is divided, equivalent portions of this stipend will be disbursed during the first month of every semester, term, trimester, etc. Active duty members do not qualify for the stipend.
