Do you still get the GI Bill after 4 years of service even if you were a National ROTC Scholarship winner?

The law is called "Forever GI Bill" which means exactly that. Go get infinite degrees and masters if you want.

Your service obligation due to attendance at a service academy or ROTC scholarship recipient does not count towards your qualifying period for Post 9/11 GI Bill. So the 36 month clock to qualify doesn't start ticking until you have met your initial obligation.

You MUST serve 36 months or active duty, AFTER your service obligation from ROTC or the Academy, and any other related ADSO's, BRADSO, Flight School, Law School, Med School, etc, etc, to get 100% of the education benefits from VA. Don't start looking at the education benefits until you are like 6 months from getting out. Your Transition personnel should discuss this benefit with you during your transition period.
And remember, that there are numerous Post Graduate Schools to attend while AD, but they tend to add more ADSO to your obligation. But a good way to get graduate work done without having to use the GI Bill.

See attachment.
To be eligible for 100 percent of the benefit, one of the following must be true:• You served 36 total months of active duty.• You were discharged after Sept. 10, 2001 for a service-connected disability after 30 days of continuous active duty service.
Note: Active duty service time required by graduates of a service academy or ROTC does not count toward the three years necessary to qualify for full benefits.
If you served fewer than 36 months, your percentage of benefits ranges from 40 to 90 percent:
• 90 percent: 30 total months, including active duty in entry level and skill training
• 80 percent: 24 total months, including active duty in entry level and skill training
• 70 percent: 18 total months, excluding active duty in entry level and skill training
• 60 percent: 12 total months, excluding active duty in entry level and skill training
• 50 percent: six total months, excluding active duty in entry level and skill training
• 40 percent: 90 or more days, excluding active duty in entry level and skill training
