What are options when GI Bill runs out before schooling is complete?

He is authorized education benefits with the VA in certain situations. He need to speak to Rehab Officer at your local VA.

Larissa Willfong call the VA National Call Center at [login to see] . Once you verify your identity (your husband will need to make the call) your questions will be answered based on the electronic file being reviewed. They may refer you to the educational line.

Mine ran out, but then I was granted a 12-month extension using the Post 9/11 GI Bill as I pursued my masters. It basically got me almost all the way there with me only having to pay $3,000 for my last six hours.

Some states like Texas have free education for veterans when their benefits have been exhausted; Hazelwood Act. I have friends who used this. Worth looking into what your state may have available.

I too used all my Vietnam GI Bill for undergrad but I applied for 9/11 GI Bill and was granted 12-months more. Worthwhile calling VA educational department and see what your options are.

So, check with the VA for education benefits

It also doesn't hurt to apply for grants and scholarships. If you want to apply for student loans I recommend checking with your bank before going through the school. You might be able to get better interest rates.

Larissa: what state do you live in? I have good connections at the VA Massachusetts

Grants, scholarships, or loans...

I was told by my college which im trying to get started again after not attending for years, they said the post 9/11 GI bill doesnt run out...is that true? I thought you had 10 years to use it and my 10 years come up next month!

I see several choices and I'm sure many others exist. In general, he needs to talk with the Financial Aide Officer at the college or university. They should be experts in the many ways a student can get money.
-The VA may allow him to extend his benefits. Talk with VA education benefit counselor.
-Student grants and loans (Federal and State Depts of Education). Apply for these through Financial Aide Office.
-Scholarships. Many types of scholarships are available. Your husband's disability may qualify him for certain scholarships beyond those which most any student might be eligible for. Again, Financial Aide Office. Some societies or unions offer scholarships to students pursuing a specific course of study.
-Employer paid educational benefits. Check with employer's human resource office.

States often have education benefits for 100% disabled vets. Check with your county or state VSO.
