Is there any way of getting more money out of your GI bill?

It depends on what branch you were in.  I was in the Army, I got the kicker and the Army College Fund so right now I am sitting at about $1800 a month.  The GIBill was not designed for you to live off of and pay tuition.  If your tuition is very expensive you can opt for accelerated payments but you really need to have some outrageous tuition to get this.  Basically they beef up your payments every month but it is still probably not going to be much.  Plus your GIBill will run out quicker.  \n\nYou can hook up with a guard or reserve unit and they may be able to give you an extra couple hundred a month extra onto your GIBill plus whatever pay check you pull for drilling.  I think in my area it is about an extra $200 a month.\n\nI don't want to be a buzzkill but the GIBill was only set up to be used for tuition, not living expenses.  I moved from California to Alabama so I could live off of my GIBill.  Look into the Pell Grant next year.  I know plenty of GIBill recipients who get a few grand every semester because their GIBill is not counted on financial aid.    The military expects you to save up money in the service then get out and get the GIBill.

financially how?  you get one move back to your home of Record paid for.  anything else will depend on your RE code.  if you get an OTH or BCD, you lose everything.. no GI Bill, no Va bennies.  If its a GUH, you might get to keep them.  \n\nmedical ends the minute you are discharged.

Military wives can use their husbands GI Bill funds to go to college but you need to file the paperwork for it. \n\nFor the others who asked yes the husbands and children can use it too. \n\nYou don't really go to college free but they do pay a large portion of the tuition but ddon't surprised if you are still responsible for some of the costs.

Try getting a student loan or financial assistance from the government.

The Army College  Fund is money added to your GI Bill but you only get this money if you got it when you enlisted, such as an enlistment bonus.  It is not something you get just for being in the Army.

You can do that, but if you want financial security I would recommend getting into the IT Rating as they get paid up to $3,000 extra a month AIP and rake in up to $40,000 re-enlistment bonuses, plus they are in high demand in the civilian sector after all the training they get in the Navy!\n\nSo if you gut out the IT Rating and save and invest all this money in  a few years you can get out with financial security and do what ever you want (i.e. jet engine mechanic, etc...) and I forgot to mention with the GI Bill/College Fund you could have almost $60,000 dollars for College to boot!

thats the exact amount of a GI bill, do two years in the army as a cook. You get great training and you can transfer that to your cooking school and take less classes, since you get a set dollar amount for school, that means you can take some money from the GI bill and put it in your pocket during school. And since your school will be subsidized heavily, you can take out student loans if you want and buy a nice new car or something and pay it off 10 years later.

Donate plasma; Go to a temp agency; Seek part-time worker delivering newspapers to racks.  There are all kinds of extra ways to make extra cash.  Consult the classifieds of your local or state newspaper.

Contact your State VA office and ask them for assistance.  They can help you get your claim in and through all of the Fed VA run-arounds.  \n\nWhen I retired last year I was informed by a State VA Rep that the Fed VA wasn't my friend as they were the ones who were going to pay on any claim.  The State VA however didn't pay off but they knew the same info as the Feds.

You should get in touch with the VA.  My uncle had the same problem as was able to collect $100K for back benefits.  Talk about a life changing event!

Maybe you can do it the old fasioned way:  go door to door, and ask people to give you money.\n\nIf that doesn't work, write letters to rich multi-millionaire Democrats like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, Michael Moore, and Hillary Clinton.  They're always telling us the poor deserve more, well, here's their chance to step up and lead by example.

Apply for a GRANT that does NOT have to be paid back. I am really sorry you chose a military school as I do NOT believe in them..but it's your choice. Find a grant writer at the closest university. they should be able to help you fit into the demographics, so my opinion goes by the wayside here, this is the truth that i know and i would NEVER stand in the way of anyone's education. GET A GRANT....ONE THAT IS A SCHOLARSHIP...not based upon grades but on income or lack of it and direction and intent.\nThanks\nLioncourt
