Education & Career Benefits

Fund your degree, learn a trade, or launch a new career. Veteran education benefits can cover tuition, housing, training, and more.

Whether you want a four-year degree, a certification, or a fast track into a high-demand field, your service can help pay the way.

Post-9/11 GI Bill

Covers up to full in-state tuition and fees at public schools, plus a monthly housing allowance and a stipend for books and supplies. Benefits may be transferable to a spouse or children.

Most Popular

Yellow Ribbon Program

Helps cover tuition costs that exceed the GI Bill cap at participating private schools and out-of-state programs — potentially eliminating out-of-pocket tuition.

VET TEC & Skill Training

Short, intensive training in high-tech fields like coding, IT, and data science — designed to get Veterans into careers quickly.

Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E)

For Veterans with service-connected disabilities, VR&E (Chapter 31) offers career counseling, training, and job placement support.

Apprenticeships & On-The-Job Training

Earn a paycheck while you learn a trade, with GI Bill benefits supplementing your income during approved programs.

Veteran Hiring Preference

Veterans receive hiring preference for many federal jobs, and thousands of employers actively recruit and prioritize Veteran talent.

Tip: GI Bill benefits generally must be used within a set window after separation — it's worth checking your remaining eligibility sooner rather than later.
