My daughters school is offering dual credit courses for her senior year in high school. My question is can I use the 9/11 GI bill to pay for the college classes she will be taking as a senior in high school ?

SFC Private RallyPoint Member your daughter is not eligible to use the benefit until they have attained a secondary school diploma, or equivalency certificate, or reached 18 years of age. SSG Michael Scholl, how did you know?

I agree with SSG Private RallyPoint Member. Take a look at the VA website below under the Children section. Regardless, it would be better for her to use the GI Bill for full tuition at a college in order to maximize the benefit.
