The GI Bill is meant to prepare veterans for their life after the military. It does this by providing funding for undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and vocational programs. Eligibility varies based on the specific program, but they all cover tuition, fees, supplies, and an allowance for living expenses if studying at least half time. These benefits aren’t indefinite, though: there’s a limit on how much time you can use them, and until recently, an expiration date for benefits. Essentially, the benefits allow our country to say “thank you” and equip vets to be successful in the future.
