Veterans Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs administers a wide variety of education benefit programs for veterans and their dependents. Agnes Scott assists students in taking full advantage of these benefits.

What are the different types of VA Educational Benefits?

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®. This benefit provides up to 36 months of education benefits.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also offers some service members the opportunity to transfer their GI Bill® to dependents.

The Post 9/11 GI Bill® will pay eligible individuals (prorated by eligibility level):

  • $24,476.79 for tuition and fees per academic year, paid directly to Agnes Scott.
  • A monthly housing allowance and up to $1,000 in books and supplies stipend, both paid directly to the student.

Dependents' Educational Assistance provides education and training opportunities to eligible dependents of certain veterans. The program offers up to 36 months of education benefits. DEA benefits are paid directly to the student.

Monthly rates are $1,298 per month in the 2022-2023 academic year, pro-rated by the number of days in the academic calendar.

To be eligible you must be the son, daughter or spouse of:

  • A veteran who died or is permanently and totally disabled as the result of a service-connected disability. The disability must arise out of active service in the Armed Forces.
  • A veteran who died from any cause while such permanent and total service-connected disability was in existence.
  • A service member missing in action or captured in line of duty by a hostile force.
  • A service member forcibly detained or interned in line of duty by a foreign government or power.
  • A service member who is hospitalized or receiving outpatient treatment for a service-connected permanent and total disability and is likely to be discharged for that disability.

The MGIB® program provides up to 36 months of education benefits. Generally, benefits are payable for 10 years following your release from active duty. This program is also commonly known as Chapter 30. Service members who served after September 10, 2001, can also apply for up to an additional 12 months of entitlement under Chapter 33, the Post 9/11 GI Bill®, once their 36 months of benefit for Chapter 30 expire. They may also convert to Chapter 33 in lieu of their Chapter 30 benefits before their Chapter 30 benefits expire.

The benefit is a monthly stipend paid directly to the student.

If you’re a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard Reserve, Army National Guard, or Air National Guard, you may be able to get up to 36 months of education and training benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill® - Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) program.

You can get education benefits if you meet the requirements listed below.

One of these must be true:

  • You have a 6-year service obligation (you agreed to serve 6 years) in the Selected Reserve, or
  • You’re an officer in the Selected Reserve and you agreed to serve 6 years in addition to your initial service obligation

And all of these must also be true. You:

  • Finish your initial active duty for training (IADT), and
  • Get a high school diploma or something of equal value, like a High School Equivalency Diploma or GED, before finishing IADT, and
  • Stay in good standing while serving in an active Selected Reserve unit.
         

“The liberal arts may not seem like the most traditional foundation for a military career, but the leadership skills and activism that I honed at Agnes Scott translated well to my role as a Navy flight surgeon.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sarah-Blythe Ballard '02, M.D., M.P.H.
