MILITARY BENEFITS

IE participates in the United States Veterans Affairs GI Bill and Post 9/11 GI Bill educational
assistance programs, which offer significant benefits to eligible veterans.
You may be eligible to receive the following military benefits and fellowships:

Post 9/11 GI Bill
• Up to $20,000 USD (*amount may vary depending on VA Annual Budget)
  for 100% GI Bill Private School reimbursement
  (Veterans are 100% eligible if they served 36 months of active duty after 9/11).
• Monthly Stipend for Living Expenses and Housing.
• $1,000 USD per year for books and academic supplies.
  Note: The transferability option under the Post-9/11 GI Bill allows service members to transfer all or some unused
  benefits to their spouse or dependent children.

US Military Fellowship
Military Fellowships at IE are provided to recognize those contributions of men and women who
have served in the United States Armed Forces. These individuals are distinguished leaders in
a variety of our programs, contribute to the IE community, and embody our core principles:
diversity, entrepreneurship, humanities and social responsibility.
More than 60% of IE students receive some type of fellowship, which can cover up to 40% of
the cost of tuition.
Military Fellowships provided at IE are available exclusively for those who are former members
of the United States Armed Forces.

                       When looking for a school, I felt that a top-ranked international program would
                       be the best way to leverage the international experience I had gained in the
                       Marines, and provide continuing challenge and adventure. I was also looking
                       for a program with a very diverse population since, in the military, I had learned
                       the value that diverse backgrounds brings to a team. IE does a great job of
                       attracting bright and talented people that help shape that experience. Being
                       surrounded by brilliant people, from all different countries, working to achieve
                       a common goal in a limited amount of time is something that I think resonates
                       really well with veterans. Just like in the military, the friends you make here will
                       be friends for life.
