Sebastian (a lady) Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Someone just shared this with me and I wanted to pass along the link. You can select the student's status, which GI Bill and then what school and it will show you the benefits available for attending there. One thing that this helped me see is how much the BAH benefit adds up over time. https://www.vets.gov/gi-bill-comparison-tool If you go further down the page, it shows some statistics for the school like graduation rate, loan repayment rate, and if there were student complaints about the school related to the GI Bill.

SanDiegoMom Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 And just as a fyi, the Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2016 was just passed, closing the loophole that was created by unclear language which disallowed in state tuition for students using transferred benefits from a sponsor who is still active duty. So now anyone using the GI bill will get in state tuition everywhere, not just dependents of retirees. This was something that made applying to schools very interesting for my daughter, who applied to some out of state public universities not knowing what would happen! It really does vary quite a bit, bah-wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 What a great tool! And, dang it, I wish we had been able to get in-state tuition for my now-senior daughter using my husband's benefits. I was so excited two years ago when the original bill passed, but then the loophole kept the benefits from applying to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
