There is a wealth of information available for military students pursuing an online degree. While the Online Education Blog provides a continuous funnel of knowledge for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans, and dependents of military families to pursue their learning, we are only one reputable source of learning. In lieu of the recent Post 9/11 GI Bill news, we thought we would share five other resources we believe military students will find useful:
- Veterans Benefits GI Bill Blog: This blog focuses specifically on veterans benefits and financial aid and goes in-depth with the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Posts here are always military-related and provide a plethora of useful articles to guide the veteran’s pursuit for education in the right direction.
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs: The VA obviously has the most up-to-date information regarding the GI Bills. What sets other websites apart from the official VA’s website is the personalization and unique voice directed to others. If you are looking for the nitty-gritty, going directly to the VA’s website will yield the research you are looking for.
- VA, GI Bill Home: This is a branch of the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ website specifically discussing the GI Bill.
- Military.com: With the motto “All the Benefits of Service” backing their resource-driven website, Military.com brings a wide range of articles for the interested military-based student reader.
- Tuition Assistance Program for Online Students in the Military: Jamie Littlefield has compiled together an extensive list of information for military personnel seeking financial aid information. Her list pinpoints locations for prospective student that have a background in the Air Force, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard.
