Can you use the military school grants for your spouse?

My husband has enough training that he doesnt need to go to school, but I would LOVE to get back to school. Can I use his military grants or is it only for the person who served?Can you use the military school grants for your spouse?
HIS Tuition Assistance and HIS GI Bill are for HIM, not you. There are many scholarships that are available for active duty spouses. Also, due to our hubbies pay, many are eligible for Pell Grants and other financial assistance.





Edit: The Army does have a program, but there are several restrictions regarding the ability to transfer the funding to a spouse. They are the ONLY service with this option.





Edit: Maggie, most young spouses, married to E4 and below, still qualify for Pell with all of that added in.Can you use the military school grants for your spouse?
No, the GI Bill and Tuition Assistance is not intended for the spouse. There are military spouse scholarships out there. Also look into scholarships offered by the school you are interested in attending.





And to contradict the other posters statement unless you try to defraud the federal aid system, most military spouses are NOT eligible for the pell grant because on the FAFSA you are required to include your BAH (or base housing equivalent, an amount that the base education office can give you), BAS, and any other unreported income given by the military.
The Army had for a short period of time a program where the spouse could use tuition assistance benefits earned by the service member. They had so few spouses applying for the program they decided it was a total waste of time and stopped it.





So no. His benefits are his. If you want benefits, you could join the Army and earn your own.
If he is in the Army he can reenlist and give the GI Bill to you, not sure about other services. The TA is just for him. You can contact www.militaryonesource.com or the base education center and they have access to grants and scholarships for spouses.





Also you can fill out a FASFA and the school you are intrested in going to can also help you locate grants etc.





Despite what Maggie said it depends on rank and stuff. You don't know unless you try. My husband was a E-5 and I did the FAFSA and got full pell grant. Yes we did include all the income, BAH everything so you don't know unless you try.
