To my knowledge I know of the Montgomery GI Bill, Post 9/11 GI Bill, and Tuition Assistance. What would be the fourth?

Not sure, but fourth may be loan repayments. Army will help soldier with existing subsidized student debt forgive up to $65K. There are conditions needed for qualification though...

That would be the Top Up program. Its just an addition to the GIBill and TA.

Tuition Assistance 'Top-Up' Program

Top-Up is a program that allows VA to pay active duty GI Bill participants' tuition and fees not covered by Tuition Assistance.

Remember the Montgomery GI Bill is mutually exclusive with Post 9/11, it's an either or. TA has a Time in Service requirement. Along with the Top-Up, there is the STEM Extension, and Vocational Rehab.
