Are you a veteran going back to school? Or maybe you know someone who is a veteran and would like to go back to school?

At WKU, there is a special office just for Veterans, the Veterans Affairs office. They help with all forms and find out what benefits each veterans have.

Here are their helpful links too:
http://www.wku.edu/veteran/valinks.php

They include the Dept. for Veterans Affairs, Vocational Rehab site, a link to the Kentucky Troops to Teachers program site, AND the WKU Upward Bound page.

These programs are available across the country. They are well worth looking into.

Veterans, just give your local college or school a call and let them guide you to local Veteran's resources for scholarships, grants, and lots more.

Good luck, veterans!

Memorial Day made me think about listing

...some good sites for U.S. veterans to find scholarships and grants with.

Along with regular scholarships and grants, veterans qualify for other programs. Here are some sites to help research scholarships for veterans:

The FinAid Veterans Page

The G.I. Bill website

The U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs - also check out the new Joint VA/DOL Program article here.

Military.com: Busting the Myths about Scholarships


The American Legion Scholarships Page

The Johnson County Community College Page - Veteran/Military-related Grants and Scholarships

Scholarships.com's Veterans/Official Scholarships Bog/Scholarship Search, Find Scholarships and Grants Blog

Another less well-known program helps veterans find programs and help. Here is that website:
The Upward Bound site.

There are also Upward Bound programs that are in many different areas of the country. Find your State program at the drop-down menu right under the picture of the soldier at the site.

I hope these sites are helpful, and I hope your Memorial Day was a good one.

Links for Veterans who want to go back to school.

Are you a veteran who wants to go back to school? Do you have a friend or family member who would like to go back to school or attend trade school or college, but doesn't know how?

Here are some good links I found today. There were a LOT of these links I found, compared to other searches I have done. This leads me to believe that there are even more sites out there that I will be adding to this list later on.

There are also hints on HOW to fill out these scholarships on some of these sites.
