I am a US Military Veteran. I am looking at possibly getting a Masters degree. Are there programs to help?

The two that I’m eligible for (that I know of) are chapters 30 & 31; 30 is the GI Bill, and 31 is for disabled vets (I’m 30%). I was wondering if there are any programs like this, or other, that could help me earn a Masters, possibly to teach. Would I be able to use the Troops To Teachers program (which is K-12 and voc/tech), as a “spring board?” I haven’t been able to find anything specific on Yahoo, Google, or Ask, regarding programs for Veterans to earn a Masters. Help!

Call the school that you’re trying to get in with and ask if they have a veteran’s affairs office. Most do. They’ll be able to walk you through some of the process.

The link below will take you to some places that might help. The GI Bill FAQ link is pretty good.

You should have had a pretty serious debrief/transition program for your disability. Look through some of that paperwork to find contact numbers for veteran’s support, or go to the military.com site again.

Good luck. If you teach, teach the kids well.

There are all sorts of programs. Your best bet is to conatct the institutions that you are interested in and talk to someone in the financial aid department.
