Beyond the GI Bill: Extra Education Benefits You Might Not Know About
By
Dan Fazio
The GI Bill® is great, but it’s not your only option. There are other education benefits designed just for veterans that can help you go even further.
What Else Is Out There?
Federal Financial Aid – Even if you have the GI Bill®, you might qualify for grants and loans.
Veteran Scholarships – Organizations like the Pat Tillman Foundation and AMVETS offer scholarships just for vets.
Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) – If you have a service-related disability, VR&E can cover additional training, certifications, and job placement assistance.
Using multiple funding sources means you can graduate debt-free and be better prepared for the civilian job market.
