There are recent changes to the\u00a0\u2018Choosing the Right School\u2019 Guide<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0make the right decisions on where to use their\u00a0hard earned benefits!<\/p>\n

Check it out right here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/u><\/p>\n

Also, check out the\u00a0VA\u2019s \u201cKnow Before You Go\u201d video, featuring Veterans who have used their GI Bill benefits and offer great advice for how veterans\u00a0can make the most of theirs.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Check out the video here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Veterans\u00a0can use their benefits to obtain an associate, bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s degree, or even a Ph.D.<\/p>\n

They can participate in a certification program to gain the credential required for the civilian job you want.<\/p>\n

Or,\u00a0learn a new trade through an apprenticeship or on-the-job training.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

For some Veterans, having so many options can feel overwhelming. \u201cMake sure you have a plan,\u201d says Kyle White, an Army Veteran and Medal of Honor Recipient who appears in the video.<\/p>\n

The GI Bill Comparison Tool<\/a> <\/strong>is a great place to start. But perhaps the most powerful resource to help one\u00a0make well-informed decisions about the future is your network of fellow Veterans.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Again, take a moment to watch the video<\/a><\/strong> to hear more from Kyle and other Veterans.<\/u><\/p>\n

The VA wants to\u00a0make sure this generation of Veterans has every opportunity to succeed and\u00a0understands how important it is to prepare for life after the military, and will continue working to provide all veterans\u00a0with the research and tools they\u00a0need.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
