Reimbursement Benefits (Vocational Flight School)
While the participation requirements are the same for all GI Bill® programs, the payment amount varies depending on the GI Bill® program you are utilizing. As a vocational flight school, VA reimbursements are issued at the end of each month for the total amount of cost to the student during that month. This check can either be sent directly to the student, or to the flight school for deposit back into their flight account.
Flight training under the Post-9/11 GI Bill®:
• If you are enrolled in a vocational flight training program you can be reimbursed the lesser of (1) the full cost of training or (2) the annual maximum amount in effect the day you began training in your flight course. You will not receive a housing allowance or the books and supplies stipend. The maximum amount available for reimbursement depends on the academic year you begin training.
(For example, if you enroll in a dual-engine certification course that costs $15,000 on November 1, 2017. You can receive a maximum of $13,031 for that course and any other flight training (programs leading to your dual-engine certification, or other certification) that begin before August 1. Additional flight training courses that begin on or after August 1, will be subject to a new annual limit.)
Flight training under Montgomery GI Bill® or the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP):
• The VA will reimburse you for 60% of the approved charges.
Please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website for more information on their flight training assistance.
