You have questions about the Department of Veterans Affairs' GI Bill benefits, and we have answers. GI Bill benefits aren't considered financial aid in the traditional sense. In most cases, the school's financial aid department does not consider the GI Bill financial aid. This means you're eligible for student loans, scholarships, and Pell Grants along with the GI Bill. But it is important to note that your GI Bill income can reduce the amount of student financial aid you are eligible to receive, and if you receive a scholarship, your Post-9/11 GI Bill may not pay as much to the school. However, your housing allowance will not be affected.
