If a parent or spouse served in the military, you may qualify for major education benefits — from a transferred GI Bill to scholarships for surviving family and state tuition waivers. Here are the main programs and where to check.
If a family member served, check what you qualify for
These benefits are easy to miss because they depend on a parent's or spouse's service. If your family has a veteran — especially one who was disabled or died from service — you may qualify for a transferred GI Bill, the Fry Scholarship, Chapter 35, or a state waiver. Ask the VA and your school's veterans office; the money can be substantial.
Keep going: learn the GI Bill, see the full military college money guide, and get the financial aid basics.
