Programs also exist to assist some dependents of veterans.
Below are descriptions of the most widely known veterans' educational programs. Earn a high school diploma or GED before separation from the service. Must enlist in reserves, if reserve time required upon discharge as noted on the DD214. Must use eligibility within 10 years of release from active duty or date of eligibility. Partial benefits are paid to students who enroll less than full time or who use their benefits while in the service.
