The Post-9/11 GI Bill is a United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program that provides financial assistance to eligible veterans and their dependents to help pay for the costs of higher education. The bill was signed into law on June 30, 2008, and is available to veterans who served on active duty after September 10, 2001, and who meet certain other eligibility requirements.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides a variety of benefits, including tuition and fees, housing, and books and supplies. The amount of benefits that a veteran is eligible for depends on their level of service and the type of school they attend. The bill also provides a monthly living stipend to help veterans with the costs of living while they are attending school.
