Veterans pursuing their educational goals are usually eligible for "educational assistance for students" in most states, including the District of Columbia. Educational benefits for veterans and their dependents, particularly the children of deceased and disabled veterans, are also available in some states. Military.com has developed an on-line general summary of educational benefits for veterans and their dependents. Click here to see the complete summary.

You can request free information from fully accredited "military family friendly" colleges and universities that are eager to serve the education needs of military families. Start here.
