I’m currently using this scholarship BUT be aware that BAH/MHA payments can/will be delayed unlike while using the GI Bill. The GI Bill paid out on/around the 1st on a monthly basis BUT this STEM scholarship operates a little differently. Over the last 3mths my BAH and tuition has paid out as late as 2.5-3wks late. Just a heads up so you can budget and prepare accordingly and not left short handed.
Super good insight! Thank you for sharing.
Hey are they paying the full BAH
What program are you doing?
You are on point. Great content!! Clear and concise. Easy to understand. No fluff. You're definitely going places. Thank you for this vital information. You are making a difference specially to me! Salute from the Air Force! and much love to everyone in the armed forces and families of those who support.
Thanks J! So happy you enjoy the content! Plenty more to come!
This is the video I need! Thank you so much, man.
I got you! Good luck!
Love your content. New sub
Thank you!
I just transferred back to stem just going to finish 2 years left in my comps i degree! Let's go! I just want to be done and start my life!!!!
Lol. Been there. Don't wish your life away though. You'll get there.
Just got approved for this today! should be just enough for me to finish my degree
Yes! Congrats!
How long til you found out you were accepted? i found out 2 weeks ago that I was eligible
@@ihateosan I would say between 1-2 months
More of this stuff 💯💯💯💯
Plenty more on the channel and plenty more to come!
Great video!!! Thank you so much.. I am currently getting my Nursing Degree, and my G.I will not be enough.. your video help me alot..
Now I have to wait until I have less than 6 months of my G.I...
quick question do I still recv my BAH?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Awesome! So happy to help! Yes, this scholarship is a continuation of the GI Bill, so it will come with BAH.
@@jasonburds appreciate it.. thank you and continue to make this great videos to help VETS like me..
I completed my undergraduate in Neuroscience and still had 13 months of GI bill left. I used that for PA school. The yellow ribbon program covered the last 2 months of my 15 month preclinical year. My clinical year starts on the 22nd of August. The stem scholarship is going to pick up where my gi bill left off. I applied and got accepted but another veteran in my class got denied for some reason. It’s worth a shot.
Wonderful content btw! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this
Am I understanding correctly that you were approved for stem scholarship for PA school?
@@jasonburds that’s correct. I don’t understand how exactly, but I have the letter from the VA showing approval
@@deltasaber4 very interesting. Another case of seemingly non black and white regs. I have gotten responses indicating this cannot be used for graduate programs. But if you got approval, good for you!
@@deltasaber4 that's awesome! Congrats!
Congrats. I am a registered nurse and am currently halfway through a Nurse Practitioner graduate school and exhausted my Post-911 GI Bill (Max benefits, Active duty 5 years). I was denied on the basis that my degree is not eligible, despite the "STEM Designated Degree Program List Effective January 1, 2020, Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences CIP code 51".
-I was denied on the basis of the first route 4:19, when I should have been considered from the second criteria/route 2 4:54
-Or because I am Hispanic?
Are child dependent who are currently using GI BILL that retired VA 100% approved sponsor transferred to them, eligible for this scholarship? They are not fry child dependent.
I never hit subscribe or the bell but I got u brotha. Vets gota help each other out ooh rahh lol
Thank you Taylor! I really appreciate the support. Let me know if there's anything I can help with.
Communication Sciences and Disorders is the undergraduate degree before going on to earn your master's in Speech-Language Pathology or doctorate in Audiology (to become a speech therapist or audiologist), so that might be what the VA is considering "undergrad residency" as well.. currently in my junior year of this program and planning to apply for the STEM scholarship.
Any insight on if you're approved for the scholarship does it pick up where you're GI Bill left off once you've exhausted all of your GI Bill? Like is it continuous if your GI bill ends in the middle of a semester?
Thanks for that insight Kayla!
The GI Bill will not run out mid semester. If your days off entitlement end miss semester, the VA will honor it until the end of the semester. That being said, if you are approved for this scholarship, it would pick up the following semester.
My school only took 20 of my credits. Do they do waivers?
I'm currently a 2nd year PT student and I'm trying to navigate this.
I just received a response today from my veterans whoever guy at the school and he mentioned this:
"Our PT program isn’t currently listed on the list of approved programs, but it could be added to the list, the request would come to our School Certifying Official and he would have the opportunity to review and attempt to add the PT program then."
Tl;dr Make sure your school is on the "approved list" because theres always more hoops to jump through.
Also, I applied recently and was denied [I assume] because I had 6 months and 2 weeks of GI Bill remaining. Probably the not being "approved," too.
Hey dude, just for clarification... I'm working towards a double major Bachelor's in Biological Science and Psychology. I should have my degree finished by the time my benefits are finished. I'd like to try to use the program to go for a Master's in Wildlife Biology or Ecology though. From my understanding, I probably wouldn't qualify right? Since it's a graduate degree I'd be extending it for instead of an undergrad?
That's correct. It's not intended for use towards graduate school. I would highly recommend checking out my video on VR&E/GI Bill 2.0. if you can switch over to that ASAP, you'll save GI Bill and be able to put it towards grad school. Might be too late to cover everything, but if you qualify it would be a good route.
I was a corpsman 2010to 2015. I got my RN degree and passed nclex. I was going to apply for the stem scholarship for rn to bsn. Not sure if i will get it but fingers crossed.
Right on brother! I'm happy to hear you actually applied and didn't just self select. Best of luck.
Any updates regarding the ability to use this scholarship for medical or dental school? Great video btw!
Thanks for the reminder! I had forgotten I was waiting on an email response. I'll check back on that.
@@jasonburds Hi! Did you happen to hear back on this?
Yes. Would also like to know.
I had less than 6 months in my Post-911 GI Bill at the beginning of my Autumn Quarter '21-22 at DePaul University. I'm enrolled in a dual-degree program (Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB), major in Actuarial Sciences & Master of Science in Applied Mathematics). Which is a 5 year program I entered as a transfer Junior. My STEM Scholarship was denied stating not being in an approved degree program. I'm working with a VSO to submit my appeal because we believe they erroneously considered the BSB as not eligible, even though Actuarial Sciences is on the STEM designated list by the VA. Hopefully this gets approved so I can finish my degree program debt-free.
Sorry to hear the process hasn't been smooth for you. That should absolutely qualify as a STEM program from the VA. Keep pushing on them and be patient. It'll be worth it!
I’m also a DePaul Alum! Go Demons !!
Did the update to his VA questions about post grad programs ever get posted anywhere?
No solid answer from the VA, but varying experiences can be found in the comments.
Has anyone used this for an education certificate program?
Does the extension get used first? I ask because I want to finish my degree, then be able to use Vet Tec for the training but vet tec requires 1 day of the 9/11 gi bill to be left over.
Any knowledge on this? TIA
Negative. I am under the understanding that this extension is approved when you have less than 6 months remaining of you GI Bill, your GI Bill will run out, then the extension will step in. This will result in not being eligible for Vet Tec under the current eligibility requirements.
If my post 9/11 G.I. Bill is completely used up, that’s six months or less, right?
❤️❤️❤️💯
Im about to graduate in spring 2024, and I’ll have a tremendous amount left in the Edith Rogers Scholarship- can I start a second STEM degree to exhaust that amount/time?
Great question! I haven't been able to find a sure answer on this. I would tying calling the GI Bill hotline to ask. Let us know what you learn!
I just read that the yellow ribbon program IS able to be used with this scholarship.
Also, I was just denied when I applied to this because they said I need less than 6 months left. According to my Cert of Eligibility I have 5 months and 6 days; any advice?
Where did you read that you can use the yellow ribbon program with this scholarship?
I would respond providing the evidence of their response accompanied with your COE. I'm not sure how you're communicating with them right now, but get an email chain going with someone that can actually help you and provide it in written form would be best.
They told me that I was denied because of needing less than 6 months left on my GI BILL. I have 2 months and 24 days. I reapplied and they sent some paperwork to me to send to my school. My
Certifying official just sent the paperwork in yesterday.
I am a registered nurse and am currently halfway through a Psychiatric/Mental health Nurse Practitioner graduate program at the University of Delaware. I have 3 months left and will exhaust my Post-911 GI Bill (Max benefits, Active duty 5 years) and need about 6 - 9 months more to finish my degree. I was denied on the basis that my degree is not eligible, despite the "STEM Designated Degree Program List Effective January 1, 2020, Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences CIP code 51".
-I was denied on the basis of the first route 4:19, when I think I should have been considered using the second criteria/route-2 4:54
We Denied your claim for the STEM Scholarship because You are not enrolled in an eligible program. By law, all STEM Scholarship recipients must be enrolled in a Standard Undergraduate degree program or dual degree program in biological or biomedical science; physical science; science technologies or technicians; computers and information science and support services; mathematics or statistics; engineering; engineering technologies or an engineering related field; a health profession or related program; or an agriculture or natural resources science programs; Or be enrolled in a COVERED CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAM for Health Professionals (38 USC 3320). Your Graduate degree program does not meet this criterion.
There are other medical students, PA students, and Nurse practitioner students with this same issue. Can someone clarify?
This is what I've found based on if Medica, PA, NP school is covered.
Covered clinical training for the purposes of the STEM Scholarship is defined as post graduate clinical training. These include residency and healthcare-related FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS. Covered clinical training DOES NOT include clinical training that is part of an approved undergraduate or GRADUATE degree program. Residency and Fellowship programs typically occur in a hospital or other healthcare setting. These clinical training programs are generally reported in CLOCK HOURS rather than as credit-bearing programs.
Graduate level programs are payable when they are part of an approved dual degree program. The dual degree program must include at least one undergraduate degree and at least one of the undergraduate degree programs must be STEM qualifying. Covered clinical training does not include clinical training that is part of an approved undergraduate or graduate degree program
Say I don't get this scholarship am I able to reapply? i know they give them out monthly and it really depends who else is also applying so I want to make sure if I don't unfortunately get it if I can reapply! Thank you really helpful video
You can and should reapply. Find out exactly why they denied you and fix it if possible.
@@jasonburds thank you very much
If you already have used your g.i. bill to get a bachelors and want to get another bachelors in a STEM major can you still qualify for the extension if you have 60 credit hours or more?
From what I understand, if you have no more GI Bill, you wont be eligible for this scholarship. Instead of getting another degree, look into a cert. Maybe this video will help you ua-cam.com/video/4Ni2PKkdA8E/v-deo.html
Did you find out?
My associates requires 60 credits and after that i will transfer to a university for my bachelor's which reuires 124 credits. I currently haveI have 45 credits and have used all of my GI Bill. I will be using VRE Ch31 to finish with my degrees. My question is, if I use VRE can I still apply for the STEM scholarship once I get my 60 credits and begin going for my bachelor's? I ask because the BAH is much more from the scholarship than from VRE since I used all my GI Bill. I'm assuming yes because one is a scholarship and the other career/job rehabilitation and not a direct school fund. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Man, how'd you use all your GI Bill got just 45 credits?!
Based on my understanding you could apply for for the stem scholarship, however, talk to your VRC first, because you should be able to choose the BAH rate while in VR&E (choose between VR&E rate or GI Bill rate).
@@jasonburds haha I switched majors too many times. And I went to devry in the beginning and they screwed me over a bit. Thanks for the info
@@Loudbucks dang bro. Keep going, you'll get there
@@Loudbucks You should use straigherline or study man.
I earned a BA in Psychology and am now enrolled in a stem field. I have completed 17 credits last semester (my first one) and am currently enrolled in 17 this semester. My GI Bill benefits are exhausted after this current semester. Am I eligible? Do I meet the 60 standard credits towards my degree considering I have 90 standard credits applied to my current STEM degree program from my first bachelor degree?
This situation may require some additional digging. I suspect you are not eligible because you already have a BA degree. This program is only for those that aren't able to finish their STEM degree within 36 months because of the heavy credit requirements...
My GI bill expired with 1 month and 2 days left on it back in Janurary 2021. I applied for edith nourse but didn't use it, can I reapply for my Graduate Degree thats approved?
You can always reapply. I just don't know if you'll get it.
Can I use it for a Master's degree in Public Health?
Definitely worth trying. That seems like it'd be right on the line. I can't say for sure.
Do I need to exhaust all of my GI bill to be able to use this scholarship?
I think technically not. But you need to be in your last 6 months to be eligible, so you'll pretty much be out by the time you get approved.
I got my (general education) AA from a community college and I’ve exhausted all of my benefits , I would like to go for tech certification / degree would I be eligible?
you used all your benefits to get an AA? I am not sure if certificates qualify. Might as well apply.
Quick question, some of the approved programs don’t even require more than 120 credits and aren’t even 60 credits… such as Practical nursing, dental hygienist, dental assistant, medical assistant & EMT…
So how are these programs on the approved list???? When they don’t meet eligibility requirements based on the credit hours 🤔
Perhaps someone switched majors into these programs? So they used most of their benefits already and would run out before graduating.
Either way It's a great thing for veterans enrolled in those programs
Does it cover Law Scool?
People have gotten different answers about this... I haven't seen anything explicitly stated, but I've heard some being denied grad programs whilst others are approved... Not sure how that works.
I need someone who knows how it would work for an associates degree
How are you running out of GI Bill before you even get your associates?
So I got various certificates etc and now I’m applying for the STEM scholarship for my degree program which I graduate in 2024 Jan and I’m currently due to run out in Nov-December..I hope I get it but what happens if I don’t qualify is chapter 31 a good alternative?
Do you qualify for VR&E? If not, I would reach out to your school and tell them your situation and ask them if they can provide scholarship money or something for your last year or so.
@Matthew Lesko honestly I don’t even know how to do that
@@jasonburds I applied and got approved recently
@@nikkydeanb6050 awesome! Congrats!
@@nikkydeanb6050 you don't know how to call the school registrar office?
Question
Just got awarded the Edith Nourse STEM Scholarship. The letter says I must use it within 6 months of September 9, 2022 which would be March 9, 2023. But I applied because I needed it for the summer semester and it doesn't start until May 2023. Can anyone explain exactly how that will work out? will the scholarship get forfeited if I don't use it by march 9th? thnks
Congrats! I think it's because you're supposed to have under 6 months of GI Bill remaining to qualify, so in theory you would start using the scholarship within 6 months. My guess is proof of enrollment would suffice for this. I think they understand how academic terms work... Easiest way to clarify would be to call 1-888-GIBILL-1 they should be able to confirm that.
When I first applied to the STEM Scholarship, I had the same thing happen. I had the six months window to tart and just missed it by two weeks. I reapplied as soon as that drop dead date hit and was reapproved. I will start using the scholarship next Monday and be able to graduate on schedule in March. Good luck.
I’ve applied! I have 1 month 19 days left of post 9/11
Program is PTA
Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know!
What's PTA?
@@jasonburds physical therapist assistant
Oh legit! That's an undergraduate program?
@@jasonburds yes, it was last added/updated onto the stem list on March of this year. It’s under “health professions and related programs”
So I'm confused, hopefully someone can clarify this- one of the minimum eligibility requirements for this scholarship is to be in a 120 credit program. However respiratory care, ultrasound, and radiology tech are all on that massive list of approved programs- all much less than 120 credits to complete. Does that mean if i am in the middle of a rad tech program, have less than 6 months left on my GI Bill, and apply for this I should be good to go?
Hey man! So, I'm in the same situation. I'm currently in my 3rd semester for respiratory care program at a community college. I have 2.5 months left of my Post 911 GI bill and it will be fully exhausted by the end of this summer(summer class 2023). I literally have 3 semester(fall 2023, spring 2024, and summer 2024) left to graduate and I will have no POST 911 to help me cover those semester. So, I applied for the STEM scholarship and was hoping it got approve for this program, but it didn't! I called the VA and they told me that its not a bachelors program and they cant grant community college level program... I was shock because technically, RT, ultrasound, and rad school is a HIGH DEMAND STEM program, and majority of these programs are taught at a community college with associate degree level. It just doesn't sense for my denial because im at a RT program community college level.... Luckily, the STEM did approved me for the University of Missouri (health science BA program), in which I will be attending after graduating RT school. Good luck man!
@Sokcheaph Benn Damn bro really? Why would they even have it on the list of approved programs? That really sucks... what number did you call to get this info? Thanks for the reply!
