How to recoup your exam costs

Service members or their dependents eligible for Veterans Affairs benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, Reserve Education Assistance Program, Veterans Educational Assistance Program or Dependents Educational Assistance may qualify to have the cost of their certification exams reimbursed.

Eligible test-takers must apply to VA and include copies of the results of each test. You don’t have to pass the test to be reimbursed, and you may also receive benefits to retake exams you failed in the past.

Visit the Web sites to find out which tests are covered.

The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support also reimburses qualified individuals for some I.T. certification exams. To find out if you qualify, go to the site.
