Just like federal loans, your military education benefits are applicable as long as your program and institution are properly accredited. The Veterans Affairs website maintains a helpful database of approved institutions. Confirming approval is straightforward, but making the most of your education benefits can be complicated. The VA Education and Training Benefits site offers a helpful guide for beneficiaries of the Montgomery GI Bill and Post-9/11 GI Bill. It also has links to manage or transfer your benefits.
Whether you’re an active duty military member, veteran, military spouse or dependent, ULMs Office of Veterans Affairs can guide you through the benefits application process. You can also speak with an enrollment specialist at 800-917-3236.
