The Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill offer active-duty soldiers, veterans, spouses and family members stipends for school, books and housing for college courses. These stipends will also pay for vocational courses, certifications, apprenticeships and flight training. The two GI Bills are different, but both offer resources for continuing education. In 2008, President Bush signed a new version of the GI Bill that offers service members the opportunity to earn a four-year degree entirely free.
