GI Bill questions

[BigWayne3000]

Hello, all, I'm a Reservist. My question is, am I able to use the GI Bill to pay back student loans I already have or can I only access that money for my future schooling? Any help is greatly appreciated. I tried google but I couldnt find anything but then again, I may just be an idiot ha. Thank you in advance. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks again and Semper Fi.

I think you can check more here;

but I think it's only for future schooling. I'm using the GI bill right now and it's a pretty good deal for me. I'm recognized as a full time student so I get direct deposited $1,101 a month. My classes cost me about $925 every other month plus the book cost of around $100. So you can do the math, it's not bad seeing how I paid $1,200 into it initially, not a bad ROI if you ask me!
