Veterans Educational Benefits

Moody Bible Institute is honored to serve veterans and active-duty members of the United States military and their dependents. We invite you to explore your federal Veteran's Affairs Educational Benefit Programs in your educational pursuits at Moody.

Attention Graduate Students: You must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits hours to be considered a full-time student in an 8-week session.

Moody Bible Institute does not participate in any high-pressure recruitment tactics; this includes recruitment tactics such as making unsolicited contacts, forming contacts by phone, email, or in-person, and engaging in same-day recruitment and registration to secure service member enrollments.
