Fwd: FW: Schools Refuse to Sign the DoD MOU

Find out what GI Bill benefits can do for you. Find Schools Now

Schools Refuse to Sign the DoD MOU

DoD now has an MOU with its partner institutions on the street. Institutions offering programs to service members must now sign and comply with the MOU by Jan 1, 2012 or no longer collect military tuition assistance from their military students.

Details on the New VOW GI Bill
As recently reported here, the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 was signed into law. VOW includes a new education and training option for Veterans Retraining Assistance Program for unemployed Veterans between the ages of 35 and 60.

Programs Offer Education Support for Veterans
Veterans have several programs designed to help them achieve their education and career goals. The VA does more than just cover your expenses through the GI Bill, VA also has education support programs to help you achieve success through training and non-traditional education support.

Student Veterans of America: A Needed Resource
Many people who separate from military service or return back from deployments choose college as an option to solidify their future. One organization that has assisted thousands of veterans, servicemembers, and their families is Student Veterans of America (SVA).

Tips for Finding the Right School
Once you have chosen the degree that matches your career goals, your next step is to shop around for the school that offers you the best opportunity.

Military Student Bill of Rights
Do military students have a right to expect fair treatment and consideration while looking for and choosing a school to complete their degree?

Removing the Road Blocks to Success
Have you been thinking about getting your degree but just haven't gotten around to it yet? Why not?

Developing Good Study Habits
Starting college or returning to school as an adult can be daunting, but when you're a servicemember or military spouse, it can seem overwhelming.
