<p>I was wondering if anyone here is receiving GI bill aid at a university? I was curious as to when you receive your first payment and how it shows up in your bank account. I was also wondering if the VA pays tuition directly or do you have to pay the tuition up front and then the VA pays you back? Also, is it still possible to receive a Pell grant in conjunction with the GI Bill? Thanks in advance for any answers.</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but if you qualify for Pell, you get it.</p>
