GI Bill

GI Bill education benefits

Since 1944, the GI Bill program has provided invaluable education benefits to U.S. military servicemembers. Now Sessions College is authorized by the Department of Veterans Affairs to certify eligible servicemembers or their dependents who enroll in Sessions College Associate's degree programs and certificate programs.

Sessions College offers an exciting range of visual arts programs delivered entirely online: Associate's degrees in Graphic Design, Web Design, and Digital Media, and Certificate programs in Graphic Design, Web Design, Multimedia Arts, Game Art, and more.

Our status as a GI Bill school provides eligible servicemembers and their families a tremendous opportunity for education and career training.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay a student's tuition based upon the highest in-state tuition charged by a public educational institution in the state where the school is located. Since Sessions College is located in Tempe, Arizona, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay 100% of the tuition for eligible students—for degree or certificate programs.

Who is eligible for education benefits?

The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. To be eligible, you must have received an honorable discharge.

Under our GI Bill approval, eligible Sessions College degree program students can participate in the following programs:

  • Chapter 33 – Post 9/11 GI Bill (36 months eligibility)
  • Chapter 30 – Montgomery GI Bill (36 months eligibility)
  • Chapter 1606 – Active members of Reserves with 6 year obligation (36 months eligibility)
  • Chapter 1607 – Reservists called to active duty for 90 days or longer (36 months eligibility)
  • Chapter 35 – Dependents of a veteran who died in service or is totally and permanently disabled as a result of service (45 months eligibility). Servicemembers or their spouses/dependents are eligible can be eligible for multiple benefits.

No benefits can be used simultaneously. No combination of benefits can exceed 48 months of eligibility.
