The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service after September 10, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

As of August 2011, the GI Bill will pay all public school in-state tuition and fees, including graduate programs. As part of a public university, The University of Texas at Austin, the Texas Full-Time MBA Program is one of the few top-ranked MBA programs that allow you to take advantage of this opportunity for significant financial support. Benefits may include up to 100% of in-state tuition and fees, a monthly living allowance, and an annual books stipend of up to $1,000 per year.

If you are a veteran we encourage you to visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Post-9/11 GI Bill website for more information and to determine your eligibility. The GI Bill Comparison Tool is another helpful tool to estimate the benefits you may be entitled to. When you are ready to have your benefits certified by the university, please submit your documents to the Office of the Registrar.

The Hazlewood Act provides qualified Veterans, spouses, and children with an education benefit of up to 150 hours of tuition and fee exemptions at state-supported colleges or universities. For more information and to determine if you are eligible to receive support through the Hazlewood Act, visit the Hazlewood Act website. 

Documents can be submitted to the Registrar's Office through Hazlewood@austin.utexas.edu.

Candidates who are currently serving, or have served, in any of the five branches of the U.S. military may request a waiver of the application fee. Applicants need to identify themselves as a veteran or current U.S. military service member in the Military Information section of the application and submit the application in order for the waiver to be processed. Further details regarding the application fee waiver process can be found in the instructions within the application.
