I'm on my last term with using the GI Bill, I have a handful of classes that I have to complete before being awarded my degree. Is anyone aware of any additional sources that I can look into in regards to getting more funds to pay for the remainder of my college. Hopefully someone has a secret squirrel honey hole they want to share with me...and or pay for the rest of my school that would also work..thanks guys!

LCDR (Join to see) - oddly enough, I couldn't find anything either. But when I was going through my application process with my recruiter at the school the "Sons of Texas" was brought up and was described to me as a grant. This was also over 10 years ago, so naming could be off as well.

It could be the Hazelwood act, basically it is like a grant, any Texas supported school basically zeros out your bill after classes start. I used it for a PhD program at Texas A&M Corpus but then got awarded disability when I moved to San Antonio so is used VocRehab/Chapter 31 for my MBA at UTSA.

I wasn't granted anything and was even told I was denied a Sally Mae loan. Was forced to use my GI Bill, which I was fine with. Three years after I graduated from ITT, I started getting letters saying that my Sally Mae loan was in default. So I treated it as a scam, since I was denied a Sally Mae loan. Now I am paying on a loan that I never knew about to help clear my credit. ITT was the scam. If I hadn't been in my career for the time that I have been in, my ITT diploma would just be a waste of ink. I have applied for all of the programs and lists for ITT students that were possibly scamed on loans and other services. The loan was the only thing I have been scammed on, but was advised to fill out for everything.

Sgt Adrian Jones - Bill beat me to it. Hazlewood Act should more than take care of you. Bonus: the hours you don't use can be gifted to your kids (though universities are trying to get this "Legacy" benefit shut down).

If you have a disability rating you can qualify for Vocational Rehab chapter 31. Worth taking a look.

was going to suggest this very thing - talk to a VA representative, if you have service connected disabilities - bring your award letter, and 214 and have a conversation with the representative.
