Can Spouses and Kids Use the Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefit?

One of the most valuable benefits earned by serving in the military is the Post-9/11 GI Bill. However, not every service member chooses to go back to school after leaving the military, so transferring all or part of their Post-9/11 GI Bill to their spouse or kids is a great option.
Service members who qualify for the GI Bill can receive up to 36 months' worth of financial support to attend college, graduate school, or vocational and technical training, as well as stipends to pay for housing and books.

Here's what you should know about transferring Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefits to family members:

Who is Eligible?

To transfer their GI Bill benefit, the service member must be on active duty or Selected Reserve service with at least six years of service. Spouses can begin using transferred benefits immediately. Children can use transferred benefits after the service member has completed 10 years of service. In addition, the child must be between 18 and 26 years old and have earned their high school diploma to use the benefit.

Can the Benefit be Shared?

Yes! Service members who are interested in transferring their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits should consider transferring at least one month to each dependent family member. Benefits can be reallocated among dependents at any time. The service member also always has the option to reclaim any unused portion of the benefit.

Is There a Catch?

Service members who transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits incur a four year service requirement. If you are interested in transferring the benefit, it's important to do so as soon as possible to ensure you can meet the additional service requirements.

We are a Surviving Family; Can We Use the GI Bill?

Yes! The Fry Scholarship was created to support surviving spouses and children of fallen service members.

How Do We Get Started?

Active duty service members can request a Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) through milConnect. Keep in mind: every Service branch has its own procedures for processing TEB requests. Be sure to check your status to ensure your TEB was processed correctly.

Scholarships are a smart and convenient way to pay for your college education because they are money earned that you don't have to pay back. Scholarships can be awarded for various things, including just for attending college.

Scholarships for college students will often require you to submit an essay, report card, or other proof of enrollment at a college. Some scholarships must be sent directly to your institution and will be used to cover tuition costs. Others are dispersed to you for your discretionary use and covering expenses. Most scholarships are not eligible to be taxed, but there are some exceptions. Make sure to speak with the scholarship provider and fill out the appropriate forms come tax time.

When looking for scholarships, it helps to start by isolating your search to scholarships related to your major, extracurriculars, where you live, and other personal qualifiers like that. The more niche a scholarship is, the better the odds you'll earn it! Honing in on aspects of yourself or your resume that make you unique will give you better odds when applying, though, primarily because you'll be applying among a smaller group.

How Do I Qualify for Scholarships for College Students?

In general, if you're a student who is attending college or going to be attending college, you may be eligible for college student scholarships. All scholarships will have different requirements because different organizations, businesses, or people offer them.

Some college student scholarships will require you to be admitted to an institution, while others may require you to have completed a certain number of credits to be eligible. Others may require you to have at least one year of college education. When searching for scholarships, it's best to read each of their rules carefully to ensure you're an eligible applicant.

How Can a Scholarship Help You?

Scholarships for college students are essential for keeping the cost of college manageable. On top of the costs typically associated with attending college or university, there are also "unexpected" costs, like textbooks, snacks, transportation, medical care, and more. College student scholarships help students offset these costs of higher education and allow them to graduate with less debt.

What Types of Scholarships Are There?

There are countless different types of scholarship opportunities for college students. From small scholarships for college students to use to cover their part-time tuition to full tuition scholarships for college students, there is a lot of money available if you look in the right places. Some common types of scholarship categories include:

Can You Apply for Scholarships in College?

Yes! Whether you're currently in high school or currently in college, you can apply for scholarships. In fact, it's common for students enrolled in college to look for new scholarship money each semester. So yes, you can apply for scholarships while in college.
