if someone gets dishonorable discharge in the army, can they still be eligible for college money?
This person got dishonorable discharge, he’s trying to go to college now and people are telling him he cant but someone else is telling him that he can go to the base to see if he can get free money for college. Someone that knows a lot about military and their rules please write me back. It will help a lot.
no he can not get help from the military.
no he can not get help from the military.

Nope. Once you have a dishonorable discharge you lose all military benefits.

Considering you only get a Dishonorable Discharge for something very serious, such as manslaughter, murder, or friendly fire incidents due to gross negligence, they wouldn’t really DESERVE Army money, would they?

Experience. (With a touch of sarcasm!)
A person who receives a Dishonorable Discharge is not eligible to receive GI Bill assistance with college tuition. That right was taken away when he received the DD.
That person may still attend college, but he cannot receive GI Bill assistance.
He may be able to file for other types of government aid/tuition assistance however.

man so what did u get discharged for?

Absolutely no benefits come with a Dishonorable Discharge, none.

A dishonorable discharge is only given after a court martial conviction. This is the same as a felony conviction in civilian court. There are no benefits due this person that I am aware of, and deservedly so. You should pick better friends.

well if he dishonored the military, i doubt they want to go spending money on him. that’s like letting Charlie Manson outta jail and giving a mansion and a trust fund to go with it.

NO he loses all of the benefits that come with honorable service with a dishonorable discharge, even the use of some government grants. all fo this should have been explained to them when they were discharged but like most people that got out that way they just wanted out and just let it go in one ear and out the other. But just in case he wants to they can go to VA.gov and look at what they lost. He can have it upgraded and go from there see the link below

The GI bill is a reward for having served honorably.
Since he did not serve honorable, sorry.
References :
he forfeited his GI Bill with the OTH/BCD. only people who complete their term and get an HONORABLE discharge are entitled to use the GI Bill.
He will get exactly zero help from the militray.
