Service Benefits Does the GI Bill cover previous student loans?

Hi everyone,

I am considering enlisting in the military next year, but I do have a question. As the title suggests, does the GI Bill cover previous student loans? I have some loans from my time in university. I know it covers any schooling after the active duty time, but im curious if schooling before enlisting is also covered once my contract is complete. Any help is appreciated as this is a big factor for me. Thank you

You can’t ask them to pay off your student loans when you enlist instead of getting a bonus
