Ebenefits I where you start, then there is an online application that you fill out and when you receive your approval, that is what you take to the VA Laison at your school. This is very important, make sure that you have a degree plan and follow it exactly, if you fail or drop a class, your benefits will run out before before you get your degree. Also, try to fill out every scholarship you can find online. They are usually easy to fill out and require a one page letter why you deserve it. I know a few people who did that and made quite a bit of extra money.

If you are active duty or reserves use Tuition Assistance it works better and you don't burn through your Gi Bill until your ready. So in theory it can be put to better use i.e. kids or spouse.
