Veterans Administration Education Benefits

img img How To Use Veterans Administration Education Benefits.
imgClick here for more programs from the Veterans Administration.

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) administers a number of education programs for which US Army personnel can qualify. The programs consist of:

  • Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty (MGIB)
  • Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP)
  • Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program (DEA)
  • Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR)
  • Educational Assistance Test Program

If you have never applied for VA education benefits, you must first determine your eligibility for VA education benefits by contacting your nearest U.S. Veterans Assistance Center or VA regional office.

If you have previously used VA education benefits and remain eligible for additional assistance, benefits can be transferred from one institution to another. Requests for changes in place of training are routinely approved, whereas requests for changes in program involve several restrictions.

For all of these programs, service members must first complete VA Form 22-1990, Application for Education Benefits, and send to the nearest VA office.

There are numerous colleges and universities that are approved to accept Veterans Administrations (VA) benefits, and have a special interest in attracting departing military personnel. Many of the schools offer programs tailored specifically to the needs of veterans and provide admissions counselors to assist with tuition credits and proper documentation.

The Armed Services gave you discipline, drive, commitment and training, now show the world you have what it takes to succeed after the Army.

How to Translate Your Military Experience into a Winning Civilian Career

AUGUST 6, 2026 – For service members in transition and veterans building civilian careers, the hardest part often isn’t the work itself, it’s explaining it.
