Hmmm... I was ineligible for the MGIB because I went to college on an ROTC scholarship, but I'm fully eligible for the 9/11 benefits. Try Googling "SLRP and Post 9/11 GI Bill" and see if that helps.

Lesson learned, point made, huh Mr. BTDT??
Did the same thing but I just transferred to the post 9/11 deal because I get more $$ overall.I did this when I enlisted, I didn't take the 20k and instead took 8 plus a ACF kicker. It was a good choice!
Gentlemen, I contacted the VA and was told that because I declined the MGIB when I enlisted, in favor of the SLRP, that I'm ineligible for Post 9/11 GI Benefits. I'm nearing the end of my initial 8 year enlistment, does anyone know if I would be eligible for the Post 9/11 if I entered the reserves and re-enlisted? I've tried to contact the VA about this, however, my inquiries were never answered. If anybody has any info, or has dealt with this issue themselves, lend a slightly illiterate and confused mamo jama a hand.
Pat Tillman Foundation | Investing in military veterans and their spouses through educational scholarships
Just a heads up, the Pat Tillman Foundation Scholarship begins accepting applications tomorrow.
Do you have experience with it?
I started working on the Pat Tillman Scholarship this evening. Ironically enough, this evening was one of those irregular occurrences when I pop my head in on here. Hey, it can never hurt to try.
That's what I feel like. I was viewing the current scholars earlier, and there is some really stiff competition. Doesn't hurt to try, but man are there some outstanding folk out there.

Court ruling could give veterans an extra year of GI Bill benefits
I'll be closely following this. I got through my first semester of my MBA before running out of post 9/11 GI Bill benefits and waived my old GI Bill because the VA said I had to.
