Having exhausted GI Bill (expired) and VR&E, what other options are you all using to get financial assistance with school outside of FSA?

Have I used all of my VR&E, and my GI Bill has now run out, so what other options are there for vets (service-connected) after you have used these up?

There are multiple websites that have applications for scholarships some of which are set aside for veterans. It takes a bit of work but can be worth it. USAA (if you are a member) has an interest free loan program for school...repayment is required but no interest charged.

I am a USAA member so I will be sure to look into this. I had no idea. Thank you for this information!

Don't forget to check with your state's Office of Veterans Affairs to see if your state has any programs you can access.

Perhaps I'm NUTS, But My Brother Mike Whom Lived In Ohio, Was Discharged In 1964, Used His Educational Benefits For Taking A Couse In (HOLD ON) --"YOGA"- Around 2015. -- LONG After Being DD-214'd Out Of The USAF In 64' - -And Yours Expired? -- You May Wish To Contact The VA Again, If For No Other Reason Than For Verification. - Something Just DOES NOT Sound Right -
Give " VAbenefits.gov/education " A Shot- - If That DOESN'T Work Let Me Know -- I've Had To Use So Many Government Sites, It Looks Like A List Of The Names Of Basic Trainees During WWII. - And Most Of The Time It Feels Like It Is.
