The military also provides financial assistance to college-bound veterans and their family members. For example, the new Post 9/11 G.I. Bill has a generous education benefit for veterans. In some cases, this education benefit may be transferred to dependents. It even includes a $1,000 stipend to help pay for books and supplies.
