The Department of Education will be holding informational webinars regarding the ITT closure and the way forward.
Effective Sep 6, 2016, ITT Technical Institute has discontinued operations at ALL campuses.
What does this mean for your GI Bill benefits?
This means you can no longer receive GI Bill benefits, including the monthly housing allowance, for any future classes at ITT. Even if your enrollment for the upcoming term was already submitted to VA for classes at ITT beginning after the end of the summer quarter, VA cannot pay for it. This includes payments under any GI Bill benefit program including the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program. VA does not have the legal authority to restore any GI Bill benefits you have used to attend ITT, even if you are not finished with the classes this term. You are, however, free to pursue your education goals at another school or training facility.
What resources are available to you today?
Our GI Bill Comparison Tool can help you review and compare alternatives to ITT Tech to continue your education goals. You must transfer to a new school approved for the GI Bill to continue receiving VA education benefits, including the monthly housing allowance under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
What can I do if I have additional questions?
Our Education Call Center is available at 1-888-442-4551 (Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. CST) for any questions about your GI Bill benefits and remaining entitlement. You can also join the conversation on our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. The Department of Education has more information about ITT’s closure and as Secretary King states, we will do all we can to continue to provide information to you on your options.
Be sure to pass this information on to anyone you know who might be affected.
