Soldiers have ample opportunities to earn degrees, even during enlistment.
The cost of education continues to rise. Veterans often find it difficult to return back to school. However, the GI Bill and its recent expansion affords veterans with opportunities to pursue additional job training, educational degrees and refresher courses. Veterans can apply for tuition assistance through the Montgomery GI Bill, the GI Bill Post 9/11 and seek educational opportunities for dependents. The Veterans Administration allows eligible veterans to search for schools near them that are allowed to accept GI Bill allotments.
The process is usually streamlined at most schools.
