College Scholarships for Veterans?

I'm curious about the scholarships available for veterans looking to attend college. Are there specific scholarships aimed at helping veterans with their education? Any information on this would be super helpful.

There are a variety of scholarships specifically designed to assist veterans or their dependents pursue a post-secondary education. Here are some:

1. The "Post-9/11 GI Bill" provides up to four academic years (36 months) of financial support for tuition, housing, books, and other fees. It also provides benefits for distance learning, vocational/technical training, and nontraditional programs like apprenticeships or On-the-Job Training.

2. The "Yellow Ribbon Program" covers the costs of tuition and fees that exceed the amounts covered under the Post-9/11 GI Bill for those attending out-of-state or private institutions.

3. "Pat Tillman Scholarship" is targeted specifically towards veteran and active duty military service members and their spouses. The scholarship covers academic expenses, including tuition and fees, books, and living expenses.

4. "The AMVETS National Scholarship Program" offers scholarships for veterans, active military, their sons, daughters, or grandchildren. The amount, eligibility criteria, and deadlines vary each year.

5. "Military Order of the Purple Heart Scholarship" is offered to Purple Heart recipients who are members of the MOPH, their spouses, children, or grandchildren.

6. The "ThanksUSA Scholarship Program" is for the children and spouses of active-duty personnel and provides a wide range of scholarships for undergraduate studies.
