The VA program is designed to help students pay for education programs not covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition benefit.  Under the program, the difference between the GI Bill tuition benefit and the tuition cost at a private university is split between the college and the Department of Veterans Affairs.  Veterans can transfer benefits to their children.
