Post 9/11 GI BILL
From Transitioning Veteran Wiki
Steps I took when applying for the Post 9/11 GI BILL
- Apply at least a couple of months before you know you will begin school, processing claims can take some time.
- Just like the last GI BILL, get in touch with the VA REP at the school you plan to attend.
Check out these links to help you figure out what you will be eligible for
[ http://www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/CH33/Tuition_and_fees.htm] - This shows 2009-2010 Maximum In-State Tuition & Fees
[ http://www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/CH33/Documents/Tuition_and_Fees_Private_Institution.pdf] - This shows you how to calculate what you may be awarded.
[ http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/perdiem/bah.html] - Here is the chart to figure out what you will recieve for your monthly B.A.H award given to you based on an E-5 with dependents pay scale (stated on the VA website)
I used those links above to get somewhat of a basis of how much I possibly will be awarded. -STEVE
