The Post-9/11-Gi Bill
In 2008, there was approved new VA educational benefits effective August 1, 2009 entitled Post-9/11-Gi Bill. Since many schools are impacted by this new education program and the registrars and financial aid offices deal primarily with certifying students to the VA, I am offering to come and speak at your next annual conference. I want to spread the word out about the changes, impacts, and benefits of Post-9/11 GI Bill to educational facilities.
