About Veteran Benefits
Veteran benefits are available for training at WyoTech.
The payment amount varies depending on the Veteran program you utilize. The first payment is made 30 days after the start of a course, and monthly payments are made thereafter, as long as you’re attending and not repeating a course that was previously completed. The monthly entitlement is based on the number of credit hours for which you are certified.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill®
Under this program, the benefit pays the actual net costs for in-state tuition and fees or national maximum, whichever is less.
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is paid based on the location of the school and a pay grade of E-5 with dependents.
All Other Veteran Programs
VA pays a monthly rate that varies depending on which Veteran program you’re entitled to and how long your qualifying military service was.
