A primary goal of the Post-9/11 GI Bill is to help veterans readjust to civilian life. This includes assistance with an array of educational and training programs. This report analyzes data to better understand the law’s cost, the types of educational programs beneficiaries enroll in, and the institutions they attend.
Among the report’s findings: Beneficiaries choose colleges—often public—more than other types of educational programs or training. However, veterans and spouses are more likely than the average U.S. student to choose for-profit programs. For-profit schools have received a disproportionate share of money for tuition and fees relative to the number of Post-9/11 GI Bill students, the report states.
