GI Bill & Troops to Teachers Benefits

If you have remaining benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, and also are eligible for TTT benefits, you may receive both benefits at the same time. So, if you are participating in a certification program that has been approved for GI Bill, you may receive those benefits in addition to the TTT stipend or bonus. The certification program will process your GI Bill paperwork and the TTT national office will handle the stipend and bonus payments. Contact us for more information.

Troops to Teachers participants who accept financial assistance in the form of a Stipend or Bonus incur an obligation to teach for three years in schools or school districts that meet specified criteria. Click here to find out more.
