The GI Bill
In 1944 President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, otherwise known as the GI Bill. After World War II, more than two million veterans attended college on the GI Bill, according to estimates.
The current program, now known as the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB), is the centerpiece of military education benefits. Active duty service members and veterans can receive a monthly benefit that is valued at nearly $40,000. This tax-free benefit can be used for tuition, books, fees, and living expenses while earning a degree at UCSB (including undergraduate and graduate degrees).
2008 GI Bill Update: Many post-9/11 veterans and service members will soon see be eligible for a new comprehensive education benefits package that goes well beyond helping to pay for tuition. Many veterans who served after Sept. 11, 2001, will get full tuition and fees, a new monthly housing stipend, and a $1,000 a year stipend for books and supplies. The new bill also gives Reserve and Guard members who have been activated for more than 90 days since 9/11 access to the same GI Bill benefits.
