said are potentially ligible

Single veterans can receve
$130 per month while attend
ing full - time programs at
either high school or prepara
tory school level under the
higher rates authorized by
the recent laws. Veterans with
one dependent receive $155,
and those with two dependents
get $175 per month and $10
more per month for each ad
ditional child.
Eligibility for G. I. Bill edu
cation requires at least 181
