POST 9/11 GI BILL: DID YOU KNOW?

What are the benefits?  The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides up to 36 months of education benefits.  Benefit levels range from 50% to 100%, depending on your time in service.  If your discharge date was after 1 January 2013, there is no expiration date of benefits (the Forever GI Bill).

What does it pay?  If you qualify for maximum benefits, the Post 9/11 GI Bill will cover the full cost of public, in-state tuition and fees.  If you’re in school more than half-time, you can receive a monthly stipend for living expenses equal to the BAH of an E-5 with dependents at the same zip code as your school.

Since its inception on 1 August 2009, over 2.7 million veterans and family members have used the Post 9/11 GI Bill.

As of December 2021, Post 9/11 benefits have paid out over $122.3 Billion in benefits.

You can verify your eligibility and apply for benefits through VA.GOV.

If you have any questions about benefits, entitlements, or credit hours, please contact our staff at MVSC@UCF.EDU or (407) 823-2707.
