If you’re a veteran, reservist, or active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces looking to start a new career or enhance your existing skill set, Swedish Institute has several programs approved to accept Veteran Education Benefits. We work with the Department of Veterans Affairs to process all benefits available to advance the education and skills of veterans, active service members, and their spouses and family members.
The Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligibility for all veteran and active duty programs, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Montgomery GI Bill.
Other VA education and training programs offer various education and training benefits or increased benefits to certain reservists, veterans, and their spouses/dependents:
- Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance Program: This program offers education and training opportunities to eligible dependents of veterans who are permanently and totally disabled because of a service-related condition or of veterans who died while on active duty or as a result of a service-related condition.
- The Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (Fry Scholarship): This scholarship is available for children and spouses of service members who died in the line of duty after September 10, 2001.
To learn more about these and other education and training programs the VA administers, visit the VA education and training benefits page.
