Cost, Convenience Drive Veterans' College Choices
Chronicle of Higher Education
July 21, 2008
The bill which was signed into law late last month will provide military personnel and recent veterans with enough aid to attend the most expensive public college in their states. Supporters say it has the potential to significantly expand college access for veterans and to increase their ranks at traditional four-year institutions. But recent enrollment trends and interviews with veterans suggest that cost is not the only factor keeping today's troops out of nonprofit, four-year institutions.
