Who this service helps
An active-duty-service applicant must qualify for MGIB-AD, enroll in a qualifying high-tech degree or non-college program, and have tuition and fees exceeding 200% of the regular educational-assistance amount. A qualifying reservist must use MGIB-SR or be a current REAP recipient, enroll in a qualifying non-college program lasting 2 years or less, and meet the same cost threshold.
