Veterans Benefits

MTSO welcomes veterans of the U.S. military, their spouses and dependents.

Such students are eligible for education benefits through these programs:

  • Montgomery GI Bill® (Chapter 30)
  • Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) [Chapter 33 students who receive MTSO scholarships for tuition and fees must deduct the amount of scholarship from the tuition and fees reported to the VA.]
  • Survivors’ and Dependents’ Education Assistance Bill (Chapter 35)
  • Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP, Chapter 1607)
  • Other programs sponsored by Veterans Affairs

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
