Veteran Benefits

We are here to help you. If you are a veteran or a dependent, we will process your Montgomery GI Bill or Post-9/11 GI Bill claims at Allied Health Institute through our Veterans Affairs Office. We will also answer your questions on everything from claiming your entitlements to finding your regional Veterans Affairs office.

Through the Allied Health Institute Veterans Affairs Office, the financial aid team processes Montgomery GI Bill claims for veterans and dependents utilizing their educational benefits. In order for Allied Health Institute to process VA entitlements, all paperwork must be submitted to the Allied Health Institute Veterans Affairs Office. Your VA entitlements will be significantly delayed if you bypass the Allied Health Institute Veterans Affairs Office and send your VA information directly to the federal VA Office.

Please follow the three steps below to identify your entitlement, apply for benefits and submit paperwork to start your VA educational entitlements with Allied Health Institute:

How to Get Started

STEP #1 - Find out what chapter you use to claim entitlements

Montgomery GI Bill - Chapter 30
Available to those who entered Active Duty after June 30, 1985, completed at least two years continuous active service, contributed $1,200 to the program, received a high school diploma or GED, and received an honorable discharge. Learn more about the Montgomery GI Bill.

Vocational Rehabilitation - Chapter 31
Available to veterans who have been declared disabled by the Department of Veterans Affairs due to service-related injury. You can get additional information about Vocational Rehabilitation entitlements by visiting va.gov, ed.gov or vetsuccess.gov.

Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) - Chapter 32
Available to those who entered the military after January 1, 1977, contributed to the program, and did not contract with the Armed Forces under a delayed entry program. Benefits are dependent upon total contributions made and are calculated individually. No allowance is made for payment for dependents. Active duty service members may receive full VA educational entitlement under VEAP. Under specified conditions, participants of VEAP may be eligible to convert their entitlement to the Montgomery GI Bill. Find out more about the Veterans Educational Assistance Program.

Post 9/11 GI Bill - Chapter 33
Those who served a minimum of 90 combined days on active duty after September 10, 2001, and received an honorable discharge are eligible. This benefit covers active duty served as a member of the Armed Forces or because of a call or order to active duty from a reserve component (National Guard and Reserve) under certain sections of Title 10. The amount of support that individuals may qualify for depends on where they live and what type of degree they are pursuing. Get more details on the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Fry Scholarship
The Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship amends the Post-9/11 GI Bill to include the children of those service members who died in the line of duty after September 10, 2001. The benefit is effective August 1, 2009, the same day the Post-9/11 GI Bill takes effect. Eligible children attending school may receive up to the highest public, in-state undergraduate tuition and fees, plus a monthly living stipend and book allowance under this program. Learn more about the Fry Scholarship.

Dependents Educational Assistance - Chapter 35
Authorizes educational benefits to dependents and survivors of certain veterans who have serious disabilities as the result of their service (100% disabled), or who have died of a service-connected cause, were a prisoner of war or missing in action. For more information on Dependents Educational Assistance select benefits.

Transfer of post 9/11 GI Bill to Dependents
Eligible service members enrolled in the Post-9/11 GI Bill program will be able to transfer unused education benefits to their spouses or children starting August 1, 2009. Read more about the Transfer of Post-9/11 GI-Bill Benefits to Dependents (TEB).
