Chapter 35 of the GI Bill

Granbury High School recently became a VA Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance (Chapter 35) partner. If a veteran has a 100% Permanent and Total service-related disability rating or is deceased as a result of military service, their children may be eligible for Dependents’ Educational Assistance, also known as Chapter 35 of the GI Bill.

This benefit can be used for colleges, trade schools, adult education programs, and apprenticeship programs. What many people do not know is that eligible children can use these same benefits while attending high school, once they reach the age of 18.

The Chapter 35 benefit currently pays more than $1,000 per month for the full-time rate, and it is non-taxable. Moreover, up to five months of benefits can be used while in high school without being charged against the basic 45 months of full-time eligibility. This benefit often provides a substantial "nest egg" to cover day-to-day household costs or additional expenses associated with obtaining a post-secondary education.

If you think that your child is eligible for the Chapter 35 benefits, please contact Karin Harrington at [email protected].
