An offering of thanks to our veterans
To those veterans who have sacrificed and served our country, we owe much.
Veterans’ educational benefits is one way as a country we can express our gratitude. But understanding veteran education benefits can be a challenge – especially with different programs, different eligibility criteria and different forms to complete.
Fortunately, there are resources to guide veterans with their benefits, such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veteran’s service organizations (VSOs), and many colleges have student affairs offices that specialize in veterans’ services.
Under the umbrella of the GI Bill are several programs, and it’s important for veterans to select the correct program to maximize their benefits. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers a GI Bill® Comparison Tool. The tool enables veterans to learn about the various educational programs and compare benefits by institution.
It’s an important – although never enough – payment on our debt of gratitude.
