EDUCATION & TRAINING

The New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services works closely with the NM Dept of Higher Education to ensure all veterans are aware of post-high school education opportunities available to them through the G.I. Education Benefits Bill.

Any veteran who was on active duty on September 11, 2001 and beyond now qualifies for the new Post 9/11 G.I. Bill.  This includes National Guard and Reserve Members who were active for more than 90 days. The Post 9/11 Bill may even be transferrable to dependents.

Eligible veterans can also apply their G.I. Bill towards a non-university On-the-Job & Apprenticeship Training Program. For a list of all universities, colleges and facilities approved by the VA to use your G.I. Bill, click here.

The New Mexico Department of Veterans Services has also formed a partnership with the University of New Mexico’s Veterans’ Resource Center  to work with veterans interested in attending the university or who simply have questions about the differences between the G.I. Bills.
