GI Bill Benefits
| | |
|
| Western Governors University online degree program have been approved for Veterans Administration (VA) education benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill. Reserve and National Guard members may be entitled to education benefits under the GI Bill for Reserve and Guard Members.
|
|
|
Eligibility for benefits and the amounts available depend upon the veteran's period of military service, years of service, and other factors. To determine your own eligibility, visit the Veterans Affairs Web site at www.GIbill.va.gov.
|
|
|
Because WGU's tuition rates are quite modest, veterans will generally be eligible for benefits that more than cover the full cost of tuition, fees, and books.
|
|
|
After you are admitted to WGU, your Enrollment Counselor can direct you to WGU's VA department for specific instructions on completing the necessary paperwork.
|
|
|
Tuition Assistance
| | |
|
| The competency-based degree programs at WGU are approved for Tuition Assistance for active-duty, reserve, and National Guard servicepersons. This approval was granted after a rigorous review by the Department of Defense that affirms the substantive quality of WGU programs and the comparability of WGU's competency units and traditional credits.
Military personnel may apply for Tuition Assistance through their base education office or other standard methods. A WGU Enrollment
Counselor or the WGU VA department can help explain the process.
Learn more about how WGU serves the military student through Tuition Assistance.

"Opened doors…"
"WGU has opened doors for me that I would not have been able to access without an extreme inconvenience for my family, my career, and myself."
|
|
| —Connie Keogh, WGU graduate |
|
|
"On my own time…"
"I chose WGU because of the freedom of doing the work on my own time and at my own pace. In the past, I had started master's programs twice through regular universities and found the class schedules impossible to fit into my schedule."
|
|
| —Dennis Nalder, WGU graduate student |
|
|
"Speed their licensure…"
WGU Teachers College will be a boon to states seeking training for current teachers and paraprofessionals to help them meet the education requirements under the No Child Left Behind Act and speed their licensure."

| —Rod Paige, Former Secretary, U.S. Dept. of Education |
