Gi bill tuition question

Question

the university i want to attend already gives veterans free tuition. would i still get the tuition money from the gi bill? or would that negate the whole tuition part of the bill.

Answer 1

i am not really sure - i would honestly say contact your local VA pplace and ask them - they are the only ones that can tell you for sure  

Answer 2

You will receive a monthly subsistence allowance, (or at least we use to.) Depends what GI Bill you're using. but you will not get the tuition money. Tuition is like going to the movies, gotta buy a ticket to get in.

Answer 3

I believe the gi bill money is strictly for tuition because as you go from semester to semester you have to fill out the paperwork for the money and it's based on the cost of tuition, not living expenses.  You should check with your financial aid people at the school and ask the specific question, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.  You can always save the money for more school later.  But check so you know for sure.

Answer 4

I am currently using my GI Bill, the answer to your question is YES you will still get your GI Bill money even if your university covers the cost of your tuition.  Like the other answer stated you will now be able to use your GI Bill money in whatever way you see fit.  From paying rent to going to the bar and drinking it all away.  You need to keep your grades up is the only stipulation.  So get in touch with your Veterans Affairs folks at your school and start collecting your hard earned government money!

Answer 5

as long as you are enrolled into college, you can receive the GI Bill payments.  you will still have plenty of expenses  

Answer 6

the gi bill is an amount of money that you get to pay for all of your college expenses like housing, gas, books etc... if your college pays for your tuition well you get more money for "gas, housing, beer and all that good stuff"

Answer 7

What college gives veterans free tution? I have never heard of such a thing. I believe you are misinformed. The college might be free WITH the GI Bill. You will get a monthly GI Bill dispersement. My brother got $1000 a month for tutition. He is in 12,000 dollars in debt. You will have extra expenses that the GI Bill won't cover.
