38 U.S.C. § 3314: Tutorial assistance

Summary

If you get education help under this law, you can also get the same tutorial help that eligible veterans get under section 3492. You must follow the same rules that apply to those veterans. A teacher or instructor must confirm two things before you get the help: the tutoring is needed to fix a problem in the course, and the course is required or needed for your approved education program. The tutoring can pay up to $100 per month, for up to 12 months, or until you reach $1,200. This help is extra and does not reduce other education benefits you receive, including those under section 3313.
