MINNESOTA GI Bill

The Minnesota GI Bill program provides assis­tance to eligible Minnesota Veterans, currently serving military, National Guard and Reserve members who served after September 11, 2001 and eligible spouse and children. The Program provides a maximum benefit of $10,000. Eli­gible participants can use the benefit in Higher Education, On-the-job training (OJT)/Appren­ticeship or License and Certification.

This program is different from the Federal GI Bill (Montgomery, Post 9-11, Veterans Educa­tion Assistance Program, Dependents Educa­tion Assistance Program, or Vocational reha­bilitation). See the MDVA page on Federal GI Bill Programs (https://mn.gov/mdva/resources/ education/federalgibill.jsp).
