The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate
service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must
have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill became effective for training on or after August 1, 2009. The amount of support that an individual may
qualify for depends on where they live and what type of degree they are pursuing. For a summary of Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits,

Approved training under the Post-9/11 GI Bill includes graduate and undergraduate degrees, and vocational/technical training.
All training programs must be offered by an institution of higher learning (IHL) and approved for GI Bill benefits. Additionally,
tutorial assistance, and licensing and certification test reimbursement are approved under the Post- 9/11 GI Bill.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay your tuition based upon the highest in-state tuition charged by an educational
institution in the state where the educational institution is located. For more expensive tuition, a program exists which may help to reimburse the difference. This program is called the "Yellow Ribbon
Program". For more information on the Yellow Ribbon Program click on the link below.
