If you are eligible for VA education benefits and need help in a subject, you can get supplemental payments for tutorial assistance. The subject must be necessary for the completion of your approved degree program. You must be enrolled at one-half time or more. Even if you are passing a course, you can get tutorial assistance if your grade will be credited toward completion of your program.
VA will pay up to $100 per month for your tutorial assistance. The tutorial assistance you get will be in addition to your regular monthly education benefits for going to school. The limit for tutorial assistance is $1,200 (12 times the maximum monthly rate of $100).
If you are training under Chapter 30 or Chapter 1606, VA will not charge entitlement for your first $600 of tutorial assistance. For tutorial assistance over $600, VA will charge one month of entitlement whenever you receive an amount equal to the full-time monthly rate you get for going to school. If you are training under Chapter 33 or 35, VA will not charge you any entitlement for tutorial assistance.
