Many benefits are available to advance the education and skills of Veterans and Service members. Spouses and family members may also be eligible for education and training assistance. The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, known informally as the GI Bill, was a law that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as GIs). Veterans who have served at least 90 days of active duty service after September 10, 2001 and received an honorable discharge will qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. 

A standardized test, not related to any specific field of study, that measures an applicant’s potential to withstand the rigors and succeed in graduate school is called at graduate entrance exam. Examples include Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Test scores are used by admissions departments to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. Schools usually accept test scores taken within the previous 5 years.
