The Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty (MGIB-AD) can help you pay for education and training programs. If you've served at least 2 years on active duty, you may qualify for the MGIB-AD program. Applicants may be eligible for education benefits through this program if they were honorably discharged and they meet the requirements of one of the four categories stated in the program's website. One common requirement in those categories is that applicants must have a high school diploma, GED, or 12 hours of college credits. The amount you'll receive depends on these factors: your length of service, and the type of education or training program you choose, and your category (I, II, III, or IV). Please visit the award's website or contact the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for more information.
