GI Bill for Post 9/11 Veterans

The Post-9/11 GI Bill went into effect on August 1, 2009.  Over the next ten years $78 billion is expected to be paid under the new GI Bill, the most comprehensive education benefit since World War II.  Many veterans who served after September 11, are eligible for discounted tuition and fees, including those who choose to attend private or graduate programs.
