What is "My Story"?

Since VA began paying Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits on August 1, 2009, we have helped students just like you achieve their educational goals. Through our My Story page, we are sharing the real life stories of Veterans and Servicemembers, and their personal experiences with the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Every My Story is different; yet they all share a common thread — creating a better future using the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

We invite you to read and watch the videos about these inspiring students. If you have a personal success story that you want to share on our My Story page please email us at post911.gibill.vbaco@va.gov. Make sure to include your full name, contact information and a few sentences about why you think you’d make a good candidate and why you would like to participate.
