Many veterans want to pursue higher education when they get out of the armed forces, but heading back to school can be a daunting task. The Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA's) Veterans Integration to Academic Leadership program or VITAL program is helping veterans face that task. VITAL exists to serve all student veterans, including those headed back to school on the GI Bill, and those using vocational rehabilitation and other programs. VITAL's mission is to aid veterans in overcoming obstacles and achieving academic success. For more information, visit the VA VITAL Initiative webpage.
