GI Bill benefits have changed as of August 1st, 2009; your educational funding may change significantly as a result of these changes. When selecting the right program, you need to know the differences.
There are many new options in the new Post 9/11 GI Bill that might make it the best selection for you.
These are the ways in which the two Bills that have already been mentioned differ.
The Post 9/11 Bill will pay directly to the school you select all tuition and fees up to the cost of the most expensive state Institution of Higher Education of the Sate the school you select resides.
You would even be eligible for a housing allowance that depends on an E-5 with dependence. Part of the funds received from the GI Bill are determined by the school’s location, based on its zip code.
You would even get a stipend of about $1,000 per year for books.
This compared to the monthly allowance of $1,321 paid by the Montgomery GI Bill makes the Post 9/11 Bill look to be the best choice, but there are other factors to consider.
One such thing to consider is, some States the cost of tuition and housing would be less than the $1,321 monthly allowance you would receive under the Montgomery Bill., therefore making it the best choice.
There are also States that have Colleges that do not charge Veterans tuition, and this might also make the Montgomery Bill more appropriate.
The new Post 9/11 GI Bill is a great benefit it makes doing your homework before you select a school and it gives you more options.
You can only pick between the two bills once.
To learn more and help you make your decision, speak with schools that have good relations with the military in the state where you want to go to school, and with their help you can determine which bill will result in greater benefits.
