Tutoring Assistance

Students who are eligible may receive a maximum monthly payment of $100. The maximum total benefit is $1,200. There is no entitlement charge for the first $600 of tutorial assistance. For assistance over $600, the VA will charge one month of entitlement whenever you receive an amount equal to the full-time monthly rate you get for going to school. If you are receiving Chapter 35 benefits, the VA will not charge you an entitlement for tutoring assistance.
