Your military service has earned you several education benefits. In fact, many veterans are able to use both their employer provided tuition assistance and the GI Bill®. The United States Sports Academy is approved by the Alabama State Approving Agency (SAA) to offer VA Educational Benefits (GI Bill®) to eligible individuals enrolled in approved programs.

To learn more about GI Bill® benefits, select the appropriate chapter from the right-hand navigation.
