The VA currently offers a private school maximum tuition and fees cap of $26,042.81 for the 2022/2023 academic school year for students at 100% eligibility as indicated on their Certificate of Eligibility. Students awarded less than 100% of the Post 9/11 GI benefit will be responsible for covering outstanding tuition charges, due on or before the tuition due date. Students are encouraged to apply for federal financial aid for any costs not covered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill®.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also allows veterans to transfer all or some unused educational benefits to their spouse or dependent children. The Department of Defense (DoD) determines whether or not you can transfer benefits to your family. For more information on transferring your benefits.
