SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 2017-2018 academic year, the Post-9/

not to exceed the in-state amounts for students pursuing training at 
public schools: $22,805.34 for students training at private and foreign 
schools, $13,031.61 for students training at vocational flight schools, 
and $11,076.86 for students training at correspondence schools. 
Additionally, the entitlement charge for individuals receiving 
reimbursement of the costs associated with taking a licensing, 
certification, or national test was 1 month (rounded to the nearest 
whole month) for each $1,902.61 received.
    Sections 3313, 3315, and 3315A of title 38 U.S.C. direct VA to 
increase the maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement-charge 
amounts each academic year (beginning on August 1st) based on the most 
recent percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The 
percentage increase is determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h). The most 
recent percentage increase determined under 38 U.S.C. 3015(h) was 3.8 
percent, which was effective on October 1, 2017.
    The maximum tuition and fee payments and entitlement charge amounts 
for training pursued under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beginning after July 
31, 2018, and before August 1, 2019, are listed below. VA's 
calculations for the 2018-2019 academic year are based on the 3.8 
percent increase.
