FLIGHT TRAINING UNDER THE GI BILL®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) helps you pay for school or job training. If you’ve served on active duty after September 10, 2001, you  may qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33). Find out if you can get this education benefit. 

Am I eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) benefits? You may be eligible for education benefits if you meet at least one of
these requirements.

At least one of these must be true:

  • You served at least 90 days on active duty (either all at once or with 
breaks in service) on or after September 11, 2001, or
  • You received a Purple Heart on or after September 11, 2001, and were 
honorably discharged after any amount of service, or
  • You served for at least 30 continuous days (all at once, without a break
in service) on or after September 11, 2001, and were honorably 
discharged with a service-connected disability, or
  • You’re a dependent child using benefits transferred by a qualifying 
Veteran or service member

Note: If you’re a member of the Reserves who lost education benefits when the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) ended in November 2015, you may qualify to receive restored benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
