What is the Montgomery GI Bill?

The Montgomery GI Bill is a program specifically designed to provide education benefits to eligible veterans and service members who have served in the military. This program aims to assist them in pursuing higher education, vocational training, or certain certification programs after their service. The benefits typically cover tuition and fees, as well as provide a living stipend, funds for books, and supplies, making it a crucial resource for those transitioning from military to civilian life.

The focus of the Montgomery GI Bill on educational support distinguishes it from other initiatives like veterans' health access, which addresses medical care (the first option), housing assistance, or funding for veteran-owned businesses. Each of these areas serves vital roles in the broader support network for veterans but does not directly relate to the educational benefits offered by the Montgomery GI Bill.
