Need a Aviation degree for what? For PPL level training you won't get reimbursed by the VA unless it's part of a VA approved Aviation degree program. Beyond PPL many things are covered up to just under $20K/year without the degree requirement.

Payment Amounts Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Payments for flight training vary based on which type of flight training course and what kind of school you are enrolled in:

If you are enrolled in a degree program that consists of flight training at a public institution of higher education you can be reimbursed up to the public school in-state cost of the training and receive a monthly housing allowance and books-and-supplies stipend.

If you are enrolled in a degree program that consists of flight training at a private institution of higher education you can be reimbursed up to the full cost of the training or the national maximum (currently $19,198.31) per academic year, whichever is less. You may also receive a monthly housing allowance and books-and-supplies stipend. See if your school participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which may apply for those enrolled in degree programs.

If you are enrolled in a vocational flight training program you can be reimbursed the lesser of these two costs in effect the day you began training in your flight course:
-Full cost of training
-Annual maximum amount of training (see annual maximum amount)
