My brother is a veteran and he has money to go towards college from the military, but he’s not going to use it because he’s not going to go back to college. He’s willing to give me (his sister) the money if it’s allowed.
Are veterans allowed to transfer military scholarships, loans, grants, etc. to siblings? And if so, which ones are transferable?
Are there any military scholarships/loans/grants for relatives other than spouse/child?
Leave a comment ?
He is only allowed to transfer his G.I. Bill to his dependents
aka. Children, spouse.
And there are lots of rules for him being able to do that though. He has to be active duty and has to have at least 10 years service. He would not be able to transfer over to his siblings.
There are military scholarships and grants for children and spouses only.
No, the 9-11 GI Bill is only transferable to spouses and children. So that means dependents. Anyways, there is a lot attached to the transfer eligibility to transfer the GI bill if he had wife/children. He would have had to serve 6 years with a 4 year contract signed or 10 years or more. However, still you are not eligible for the Gi Bill benefits.
The other scholarships I am aware of are for dependents only. Why would you think people should give you money for your sibling serving? That is reserved for the direct family (dependents) of service members.
No he is not able to transfer it to siblings. It can only be tranfered to dependents or not used at all.
It doesnt have to be used for regular colleges could be used in trade colleges as well like mechanics, cooking, computers, etc… so it is good to at least try unless he has a really good paying job right from the start that will always be there for him.
no. you want money for college from the military you need to enlist yourself and earn the GI Bill on your own merits.,
