the OLD GI BILL will pay for trade schools, but as of right now the post 9-11 gi bill WONT pay for trade schools, even from an accredited school. i wanted to take welding for 2yrs at A&M satilite school in texarkana tx and the vetrens admin office told me that the va wouldnt pay for it, didnt believe her so i calld the va and they told me that NO, under the post 9-11 bill, trade schools are not covered but (underwater basket weaving is covered)
. the senate and congress is tryin to push a bill through to ammend the 9-11 bill to where things like trade schools and not having to take 9-12hrs of class for the housing stipen but only taking 6hrs as mentioned when the 9-11 bill was intorduced. now as far as the individual school, if they have a veterans admin office, talk the people there and they should be able to tell whether or not taxidermy is covered under the old gi bill, it should since it is a trade type class but it also depends on if the class is classified as a 2yr or 4yr class schedule. if it not under either 1 no matter how long the class is, it will not be covered. i got a friend who does taxidermy and if i can get ahold of him i will ask him what it cost him for his class, he teaches taxidermy on the side for extra money.
