GI Bill or VRAP Transfers?

[lawqueen04]

Hello. My mom is a Navy veteran from the early 80s and she started college prior to joining the military but never finished. We were watching the veterans day parade 2 years ago and saw a commercial for VRAP and immediately looked it up. My mom was overjoyed because she hasnt qualified for any other benefir and was able to use this. I know that it is valid for payment of $1500 a month for 1 year as long as you are enrolled in a qualified degree or certificate program at a community college or technical school only. Like my mom studied fashion business prior ti joining the military and already had credits and was able to transfer those to the cc for a business degree. Now she can take 2 semesters and get her associates.

When we went to cc no body really knew about the program so itll be tough to find out info at the school but my mom has called Albany a few times. So you have to register at least 12 credits for 2 semesters to get the benefit and they pay the money to you and you pay the school. If you have any other questions let me know and ill try to help. I did the whole process with my mom.
