Military Veterans

As an Active Duty or Military Veteran, you may be eligible for educational benefits through the numerous GI Bill® programs available at CDL Xpress. We are approved for participation in various funding programs offered through the Veterans Administration for active service members, reservists, veterans, dependents, and spouses, each of which is administered differently depending on a person’s eligibility and duty status.

CHAPTER 31: Disabled Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs pays the cost of tuition, books, and all fees directly to American National University. In addition, the veteran receives an allowance from the VA. Visit the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs page for rate information.

Blue Ribbon Grant

This grant can be used in addition to existing education benefits. You may also call your American National University representative for more details.

Yellow Ribbon Grant

The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (The Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in–state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution. Institutions that voluntarily enter into a Yellow Ribbon Agreement with VA choose the amount of tuition and fees that will be contributed. VA will match that amount and issue payment directly to the institutions. Most times this is done during the summer term when VA funding has reached its maximum during the year.

Education Benefits for Spouses—My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA)

Military spouses may receive education benefits through the MyCAA program when pursuing approved degree programs, licenses or credentials.

Application: Military services students with military education assistance funding are evaluated for eligibility during financial aid appointments.

Award: The grant will be awarded up to 50% of the Chapter 33 tuition payment.
