This program helps members of the Army Reserve pay for education benefits for a maximum of 36 months, in return for a six-year service commitment. These benefits must be used while you are serving and end when you stop serving.

In addition to college and university tuition, all GI Bill programs cover training and certifications including:

• Online schooling and correspondence courses

• Entrepreneurship training for those interested in starting a small business
