About
College Tool is a free app that does the GI Bill and VA education-benefit math for military families: the decisions that actually trip families up, like in-state versus out-of-state, transferring benefits to a child or keeping them, and the order to use them in, which can change the total by thousands. It was built from a real need, a military family doing this math by hand, not modeled on other apps. The founder built what it should be and went looking for anything similar only afterward, and found nothing that works quite like it. The proof it is real: it shows its work, every rate and rule linked to its official VA source so a family can verify it. Built by a retired Air Force family, and the founder completed the VA's School Certifying Official training in 2026. Free for five states, with an optional upgrade.
