Anybody know if you can use GI Bill funds to help pay for school? I still have some left, and couldn't find anything about whether you can use it beyond your undergrad program...

Although I might use it to pay for flight school next summer 😍

Here is the GI Bill web Site, http://www.gibill.va.gov/ and the contact number 1-888-GIBILL-1(1-888-442-4551)
Also, I would call them directly. I believe that you can use the benefits for any education, not just undergrad.

You can use the GI Bill for grad school. The only stipulations are that you have to be in an accredited program and the school you're at needs to have a VA certifying official. You can find out if your school has a certifying official by contacting your state's education officer. State education officers can be found here: http://www.saavetrain.org/VetEdOfficers/index.cfm (probably the 2nd most annoying website in the world and the least professional).

If you used the GI Bill before and your program is approved and all you only need to fill out VA form 22-1995 (paper copy available at gibill.va.gov) and hand it in to your school's certifying official to switch to that school (then wait for the obscenely long delays at the VA). Hope this info helps.
