Am I eligible for education benefits for a non-college degree program?

You may be eligible for education benefits through the GI Bill if you meet both of these requirements.

Both of these must be true:

  • You qualify for the GI Bill, and
  • You enroll, or plan to enroll, in a non-degree program at an approved school

Who’s covered?

  • Veterans
  • Service members
  • Qualified dependents

What benefits can I get?

  • Help paying for tuition
  • Money for books and supplies

How much money will I get?

The amount you get depends on which GI Bill program you use and what school you go to. We pay you at the end of each month for the hours you’ve spent training.

You’ll need to apply for benefits.
