GI Bill Pay-rate Guide
The VA will determine your pay-rate based off the length of the term and the number of hours enrolled.

Chapter 30, 31 &35 recipients generally need the following hours to receive Full-Time pay.

Maymester:  3hrs is full time   (Quarter semester)
Summer 1:   6hrs is full time    (MINI semester)
Summer 2:   6hrs is full time    (MINI semester)
Summer 3:   12hrs is full time  *(FULL semester)
Spring:          12hrs is full time  *(FULL semester)
Fall:               12hrs is full time  *(FULL semester)

During the summer terms, if you overlap the summer 1&2 terms with the summer-3 term, it can lead to interesting pay-outs by the VA. The summer 1&2 terms are mini semesters and their requirements for Full-Time pay are reduced. Being enrolled in a mini semester and enrolled in a full semester does not equal full time.

*Graduate level students will need 9hrs to receive Full-Time pay, unless they are enrolled in thesis, dissertation, or student teaching courses.

The summer months can be tricky to plan out, if you have any questions please contact Curtis Blair, VA Representative by email at cblair3@twu.edu. All pay-rates are determined and regulated by the VA. You can contact the VA at 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551)
