Spouses can not use the GI Bill... But there are many programs & grants out there just for spouses. Go to the Education Center & they will give you lots of great info.

I think I am clear as to what your asking, however unless things have changed he must re-up to do that, go to the education center to get GI bill info..
Many Colleges now are military wife friendly I know if your military spouse attends Columbia they allow the wife to take a free class... something to look into.
check with the ED center on post.
Good luck,
Armywife& Soldier
ADDING ON TO TOPIC:
The Army has announed a new pilot program which would allow enlisted Soldiers who are serving in critically-manned MOSs and who agree to reenlist, to transfer up to one half of their Active Duty Mongtomery G.I. Bill (ADMGIB) benefits to their spouses.
To qualify, Soldiers must have served for at least six years, reenlist for a minimum of four years, and be qualified for a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). Qualified Soldiers will be able to tranfer up to 18 months of their 36 months of education benefits. If soldiers choose this option, they will receive a slightly lower SRB amount.
Though the requirements for transferring benefits to your spouse are pretty steep, this still sounds like a great offer for someone who wan's to put their spouse through school.
