Financial Assistance
The G.I. Bill (Federal)
GI Bill benefits help you pay for college, graduate school, and training programs. Since 1944, the GI Bill has helped qualifying Veterans and their family members get money to cover all or some of the costs for school or training. There are two types of GI bills:
Post-9/11 GI Bill
If you need help paying for school or job training and you’ve served on active duty after September 10, 2001, find out if you can get education benefits through the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Other GI Bill Programs
Montgomery GI Bill Active or Selected Reserve.
Hazlewood Act (Texas)
The Hazlewood Act is a State of Texas benefit that provides qualified Veterans, spouses, and dependent children with an education benefit of up to 150 hours of tuition exemption, including most fee charges, at public institutions of higher education in Texas. This does NOT include living expenses, books, or supply fees.
