What are VA education benefits?

VA education benefits are programs administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that help eligible Veterans, Servicemembers, and certain family members pay for education and training. These programs are designed to reduce the cost of pursuing approved educational opportunities and support you as you work toward your academic and career goals.

The type and amount of assistance you receive depend on the specific VA education benefit program for which you are eligible. Depending on the program, benefits may help cover:

• Tuition and fees
• Housing expenses
• Books and supplies
• Other approved education-related expenses

Eligibility requirements, available benefits, and payment amounts vary by VA education benefit program. To learn more about available programs and determine your eligibility, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs education benefits website:
