Officially called the Serviceman’s Readjustment Act of 1944, the GI Bill, under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was developed for the purpose of aiding and supporting veterans of war. Through the development of hospitals, low-interest mortgages, unemployment compensation programs, and added stipends for college or trade schools, the GI Bill sought to help war veterans by investing in their lives, post-war.
For almost 60 years, the GI Bill has helped returning veterans and their families by providing stability, hope, and renewed life after their service. It ensures payments for tuition and other school fees, provides a monthly housing allowance, and covers costs for textbooks and supplies. It supports veterans by investing in them, their families, and their future. And it is ready to invest in you.
