The Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) is a benefit program designed to help eligible veterans pay for their education and training. It allows service members to make contributions from their military pay to a personal education account, which the government then matches. This program supports various educational pursuits, including college degrees, vocational training, and apprenticeships. To qualify for VEAP, veterans must have served on active duty between specific dates and made contributions to the program during their service. The funds can be used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses, making it a valuable resource for those transitioning to civilian life.
