New Web Site Seeks to Help Veterans Pick College and Use GI Bill Benefits (The Chronicle of Higher Education)
"The American Council on Education has created a Web site to help military veterans choose a college and obtain their education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, in the hope of encouraging more veterans to take advantage of the opportunities it offers," The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "The Web site, unveiled today, provides information on benefits eligibility and advice on picking a college and career path, as well as stories about veterans who have completed postsecondary education. But it does not deal with the biggest issue facing the GI Bill this year: So many veterans have already applied for the new benefits that the Veterans Affairs Department faces a backlog that could take months to clear."
