Government Clarifies Rules on GI Bill Payments for Study Abroad

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a worksheet explaining when benefits under the new GI Bill can be used for overseas study.
The guidance states that GI Bill funds can be used to pay for study abroad only if it is a mandatory part of a student's academic program and that the benefits cannot be used to pay third-party study-abroad providers, among other rules. The Institute of International Education, which has pressed for GI Bill money to be available for overseas study, called the clarification "helpful."
