Scholarships

This program allows higher learning institutions in the U.S. to voluntarily enter into an agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs to fund tuition expenses exceeding maximum base pay.
*GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.
