Have you ever heard of the GI Bill? Earned by members of the U.S. military, the GI Bill is an education benefit given to active duty, Selected Reserve and members of the National Guard and, in some cases, their families.
Administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, what part of the GI Bill program is used depends on a person’s eligibility, duty status and even years in service. Those factors also might change what kind of education it covers and how much the benefit is really worth.
