ANNOUNCEMENTS

Many of our programs are certifiable under the Montgomery GI Bill. Please check out our Approved Courses tab to view the Veteran Affairs approved courses. Once you find your desired course, you can contact our military specialist for guidance.

Military tuition assistance is dependent primarily upon your command. All of our programs lead towards a certificate of completion, and all our partners are nationally or regionally accredited. Many commands will approve "tuition assistance" for promotion points, career advancement, and morale purposes. For more information, please click here.

The New GI Bill
The table below details the differences between the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and the anticipated Post 9/11 GI Bill. The information listed in the chart was obtained through pending legislation H.R.2642 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-2642 (accessed Jun 21, 2008)). The bill may now proceed to a conference committee of senators and representatives to work out differences in the versions of the bill each chamber approved. The bill then goes to the President before becoming law. To view the current MGIB rates visit http://www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/rates.htm (accessed Jun 21, 2008). View our GI Bill approved programs here and contact our military specialist for assistance.
