The GI BILL provides educational money to veterans, guardsmen, reservists,
spouses and dependents. Students receive a monthly stipend that is based
on attendance. Payments can only be made to the students. The amount
depends on the number of credit hours in which the student is currently
enrolled. Hence, a reduction or stop of payment will be in effect
immediately following a student's drop, withdrawal, and/or audit during the term
for which enrollment certification has been processed. Payments are made
directly to the student from the Department of Veteran Affairs at the end of
each month in which your enrollment has been certified.
