There is $4,500 a year for tuition assistance in addition to either the GI Bill or the post 9/11 GI Bill. The regular GI Bill (at least the one I have currently) is $30,000, plus a $200 a month stipend. The post 9/11 GI Bill is similar, but covers more, pays housing allowance at the E5 rate and can be transferred to other people if you don't want to use it.
