Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act
The Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 was signed into law in July 2008 creating a new robust education benefits program rivaling the WWII Era GI Bill of Rights.
Education Benefits
The new Post 9/11 GI Bill, provides education benefits for servicemembers who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 2001. These benefits are tiered based on the number of days served on active duty, creating a benefit package that gives current and previously activated National Guard and Reserve members the same benefits as active duty servicemembers.
The new Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits include up to 100% tuition and fees, housing allowance, book stipends, benefit transferability and more. Thousands of college and universities around the country are eagerly reaching out to veterans to help them get started using these new benefits.
