I am used the Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for a BS in Business Administration. I'm looking at getting an MS in IT-Applications Development. I'm wondering if there are any benefits available from the VA after exhausting the Post 9/11 GI Bill available to me. Or any grants and/or scholarships I should investigate.

I have the Hazelwood Act in the state of Texas. They will cover the next 150 credit hours at any PUBLIC college/university in the state once the GI Bill is exhausted.

Eepends, Joshua. If you are in Texas, we have a state program that will pay an additional 4 years of college tuition and fees.

Contact the school first then they will let you know if there is any others. But before you do that, go to https://fafsa.ed.gov/ and try fill out the free application for school aid. That is a grant of $5500, if accepted. Most are accepted. There is a site that wants payment, DO NOT DO THAT. The application you want is free. while going to school, see if you can get into the undergraduate section. This section will pay you to go to school. That will make everything so much easier. Good Luck.

I mistyped on this one originally; I don't know how to delete this response. See the one directly above this one.

The vocationary rehab program is available to any veteran who has a disability rating of I think 20 or 30% plus and it continues from your G.I. Bill. If you have used all your benefits completely and they will pay for classes books and supplies but if you still have even a month left on your G.I. Bill then it's even better because it will continue paying bah throughout the entire program. Not only did they help you finish your program but they also pay you for six months while you're looking for a job and help you find a job after your degree

If you get "A's" in all your classes you should get an invitation to join an Honor Society, if you do join, before you know it you will start getting offers from colleges from around the world and they will have all sorts of scholarships being offered. When I joined started to get offers from other colleges like Kings college, Columbia, Harvard, Kings College, and more. One I received was from Poly tech in Florida, they offered all tuition paid for four years. Another one was a college in Ireland for a quarter million dollars a year. Web Application Development is my degree plan as well. Being a resident of Texas before and after military service. Hazlewood covers all expenses except for books and a small fee per credit which boils down to about seventy dollars a semester, but it must be a public school. To join Phi Theta Kappa you must have a minimum of a 3.8 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Try to finish your degree faster, that way you'll have left-over GI Bill to use for graduate school. That's what i did and it covered half of my masters degree.
