Find GI Bill Benefits for Your Home State

Under GI Bill 2.0, state residency helps determine benefits

Now that GI Bill 2.0 is in effect, students attending public schools under the Post-9/11 GI Bill are only eligible to receive in-state student tuition rates. Previously, out-of-state students received the same benefits as private school students. Effective August 1, out-of-state students are responsible for the difference between the resident tuition rate and the non-resident tuition and fees. Find out how your state determines residency and see whether active-duty military personnel or veterans are eligible for additional benefits.
