Is the GI Bill considered Financial Aid?
Not in the traditional sense. In most cases, the school’s financial aid department does not considered the MGIB financial aid because it is normally paid directly to you, not the school. Most schools will require you to sign a promissory note or apply for student loans to pay them upfront. This also means that you are eligible for student loans, scholarships, and Pell Grants along with the GI Bill. But it is important to note that your GI Bill income will reduce the amount of student financial aid you are eligible to receive. For help in locating scholarships, see the Scholarship Finder.
