Post 9/11 G.I. Bill

I have about 4 months left at 100% rate of my GI Bill and was looking at just using it to finish up my flight training and switching over to Federal Stuend loans to finish up @ Embry-Riddle Worldwide. I was wondering about how the funds were dispursed? Is is like the old GI Bill, where you fly and they reimburse you, or do they just pay it right up front like they do for college courses?

Post 9-11 pays directly to institution.

So no funds come out of your own pocket?

It depends. Make sure the flight school you plan on using really knows how to maximize your bennies.

Thanks for the info. I wish I had more VA Part 141 schools to choose from around here.

No problem, yeah, having schools to use the money that knows what they're doing is the hard part. Good luck!
