in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

To join the VA's scholarship, tuition-reimbursement, or related programs, a person must be enrolled or accepted at an accredited school in an approved course leading to an eligible degree field. Someone already obligated to serve under a different federal program after finishing their training cannot apply.

(a) (1) To be eligible to participate in the Educational Assistance Program under subchapter II, III, VI, or IX, a person must be accepted for enrollment, or already enrolled, at a qualifying educational institution in a course of education or training that the Secretary approves and that leads to a degree in a field for which a scholarship can be awarded under subchapter II, tuition reimbursement can be provided under subchapter III, or a scholarship can be awarded under subchapter VI or IX, as applicable. (2) A qualifying educational institution for this section is a school that is in a state and that the Secretary determines is accredited. (b) A person is not eligible to apply to participate under subchapter II, III, VI, or IX if that person already owes service, under some other federal program, after finishing the course of education or training referred to in subsection (a).
