From Tim Hsia and Anna Ivey, for Veteran's Day: Fix the New G.I. Bill


Fix the New G.I. Bill




"THIS Veterans Day there will be over a million students on college campuses in the United States who are using their G.I. Bill benefits. TheDepartment of Veterans Affairs forecasts that the number of student veterans will increase by 20 percent in the next few years.
These student veterans are unlike the vast majority of their student counterparts, as more than 60 percent are first-generation students and almost half have children of their own. Much more needs to be done to ensure that they are getting the education they need to succeed in the modern economy."
