Explore your GI Bill® options
Depending on the dates of your service, your veteran status and other factors, you may be eligible for several GI Bill® benefits. Read on to learn about your options, or contact a Strayer Military Admissions Officer to help guide you through the process.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill is for individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days on or after September 11, 2001. Veterans and active-duty service members, and their spouses and dependents may be eligible for these benefits. Under Chapter 33, the benefits you receive are determined by a number of factors, including the length of your qualifying active-duty service, location of your campus, course mode and "rate of pursuit."
