SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 2023-2024 academic year, the Post-9/
11 GI Bill allows VA to pay the actual net cost of tuition and fees not 
to exceed the in-state amounts for students pursuing training at public 
schools; $27,120.05 for students training at private and foreign 
schools; $27,120.05 for students training at non-degree granting 
schools; $15,497.15 for students training at vocational flight schools; 
and $13,172.57 for students training at correspondence schools. In 
addition, the entitlement charge for individuals receiving 
reimbursement of the costs associated with taking a licensing, 
certification, or national test is pro-rated based on the actual amount 
of the fee charged for the test relative to the rate of $2,262.59 for 1 
month. Also, the entitlement charge for individuals receiving 
reimbursement of the costs associated with taking a preparatory course 
for licensure, certification, or national tests is prorated based on 
the actual amount of the fee charged for the covered preparatory course 
relative to the rate of $2,200.90 for 1 month. The maximum reimbursable 
amount for licensing and certification tests is $2,000. There is no 
maximum reimbursable amount for national tests.
    Sections 3313, 3315, 3315A and 3315B of title 38 U.S.C. direct VA 
to increase the maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement-charge 
amounts each AY (beginning on August 1st) based on the most recent 
percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The most recent 
percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h) is 2.8%, which 
was effective on October 1, 2022.
    The maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement charge amounts 
for training pursued under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beginning after July 
31, 2023, and before August 1, 2024, are listed on the next page. VA's 
calculations for the 2023-2024 AY are based on the 2.8% increase.
