There are recent changes to the ‘Choosing the Right School’ Guide.

This new version includes information about the different types of degrees/programs that you can use with the GI Bill, the importance of school accreditation, and much more valuable information to help veterans make the right decisions on where to use their hard earned benefits!

Check it out right here.

Also, check out the VA’s “Know Before You Go” video, featuring Veterans who have used their GI Bill benefits and offer great advice for how veterans can make the most of theirs.

Check out the video here.

Veterans can use their benefits to obtain an associate, bachelor’s, master’s degree, or even a Ph.D.

They can participate in a certification program to gain the credential required for the civilian job you want.

Or, learn a new trade through an apprenticeship or on-the-job training.

For some Veterans, having so many options can feel overwhelming. “Make sure you have a plan,” says Kyle White, an Army Veteran and Medal of Honor Recipient who appears in the video.

The GI Bill Comparison Tool is a great place to start. But perhaps the most powerful resource to help one make well-informed decisions about the future is your network of fellow Veterans.

Again, take a moment to watch the video to hear more from Kyle and other Veterans.

The VA wants to make sure this generation of Veterans has every opportunity to succeed and understands how important it is to prepare for life after the military, and will continue working to provide all veterans with the research and tools they need.
