But they find out that the Reserve GI Bill gives you $350 a month for books and it doesn&#39;t cover tuition at all. How can you pay for your education with that?

Student loan repayment program, grants, etc. SFC Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 30 Jan 2015 22:55:55 -0500 2015-01-30T22:55:55-05:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 11 at 2015 4:21 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-the-gi-bill-be-increased-for-ng-and-reserve-soldiers?n=882027&urlhash=882027 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I will say that it should probably be raised some. I think almost 15 years ago when I came in it was $350 and college education prices have gone up dramatically. It also says so explicitly in your contract. I also had a kicker which was nice. Between TA and 1606 GI Bill attending a state school or community college shouldn't be an issue in most area. A lot of states have additional assistance for military and ex-military. Also make sure your are using your FASFA to get Pell Grants. In the age of the internet, things like these shouldn't be much of a surprise.
