Veterans get expanded college assistance under Trump
Military veterans are getting unlimited access to college assistance under legislation President Donald Trump has signed into law. The law removes a 15-year time limit on using GI benefits. It also increases money for thousands serving in the National Guard and Reserve.The Forever GI Act builds on a 2008 law that guaranteed veterans a full-ride scholarship to any in-state public university, or a similar cash amount to attend private colleges. It amounts to the largest expansion of college aid for veterans in a decade. Veterans would also get additional payments if they complete science, technology and engineering courses. Advocates say thousands of veterans stand to gain from the expanded benefit.

Gonna be an expensive deal. I have no problem with this but costs could be greatly lowered by only allowing full tuition for the first two years at a community college and then transferring to the expensive public or private Universities for the last two. We all know the CC are perfectly capable to providing the 101's as well as major schools and do it at a fraction of the cost.

If most of them go to a 2 year trade school, the law will easily pay for itself.
