If you're the child or spouse of a Veteran or service member who has died, is captured or missing, or has disabilities, you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the DEA program, also called Chapter 35. The applicant must be 18 years old or older, or they must have completed high school or secondary education. The recipients will receive a monthly payment to help them cover the cost of these programs: College or graduate degree programs, Career-training certificate courses, Apprenticeships, and On-the-job training. They may also get educational and career counseling. Your monthly rate (or payment amount) will be based on these 2 factors: (A) The type of education or training you're getting, and (B) How many courses you're taking - or how far along you are in your on-the-job training or apprenticeship program. For the application process, applicants will need to prepare their Social Security number, their Sponsor's Social Security number, basic information about the school or training facility they want to attend, bank account direct deposit information, and their education history. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for more information.
