APPLY NOW FOR
COLLEGE TRAINING
The chance for a university educa.
tion at government expense now
awaits tens of thousands of veter
ans in the southeast, but just how
many will actually be accepted for
college training yet remains in
doubt.
Under the Servicemen’s Readjust
ment Act, the Veterans Administra
tion js not responsible for placing
students seeking an education; the
VA simply certifies the payment of
tuition and subsistence allowance
by the government after a veteran
has been accepted by an approved
school.
Reports reaching the VA indi
cate that there are now virtually no
vacancies left for the fall quarter in
most of the better known southeast
ern colleges and universities.
Most colleges are doing everything
possible to expand their facilities
and the government is making sur
plus equipment available through
the War Assets Administration
which should help many schools care
for additional students; however, a<
cording to present reports, the col
lege vacancies now available for next
fall are mostly in teachers cplleges,
junior colleges and smaller schools.
Even these are limited and veterans
hoping to begin college next fair
should complete entrance require
ments immediately or else they may
be too late.
In many ways the procedure for
applying for educational benefits
under the Servicemen’s Readjust
ment Act, is identical to that for on.
the-job training discussed i n last
week’s column; the following ques
tions are those most frequently ask
ed by veterans about GI education:
Q. How do I go about gettting an
education under the GI Bill ?
A. Visit the nearest contact of
fice of the Veterans Administration
with a photostatic copy of your dis
charge. A contact representative
will assist you in filling out an Ap
plication Form I960.
Q. I understand it takes about
three weeks after I make my aplli-
cation before I receive my certifi
cate of eligibility. Should I wait
until it comes before I do anything
further?
A. Definitely not. Immediately
begin contacting colleges and uni
versities to find those which still
have vacancies left for the fall
term. The contact representative
may be able to help you in selecting
a school which will take you; re
presentatives of the state veterans
service offices and state departments
of education will also give you the
latest available information.
Q. I understand that some coL
leges require' a deposit when you
are accepted for admission. Suppose
I am accepted before I get my certi
ficate of eligibility?
A. The veteran should pay the
deposit himself if he is able. It
will be returned to him when the VA
pays the school for the veteran’s
tuition. If the veteran is unable to
pay the deposit, many schools have
loan funds to which he can apply.
Jf he just can’t get the money him
self and the school has no loan fund,
a contact representative of the VA
will d 0 everything possible to assist
him.
Q. What are the eligibility re
quirements for getting an education
under the Servicemen’s Readjust
ment Act; how much education js a
veteran entitled to ?
A. To be eligible a veteran must
have served at least ninety days in
the armed forces after September
16, 1940. He is entitled to one year
of education plus one day for each
day spent in uniform, the total not
to exceed four years. In many
cases, however, the time spent in
uniform under the Army Specializ
ed Training Program, or the Navy
College Training Program does not
count toward his educational bene
fits.
Q. Will the VA assist the veteran
in getting advisement and guidance?
A. Yes. The veteran has the
privilege of requesting complete ad
visement tests at the many guidance
centers throughout the southeast.
Such tests are often of inestimable
value in aiding a veteran to select
a lifetime career, but they are not
required.
Q. What expenses are paid by the
VA?
A. In general, VA provides tui
tion, booxs and supplies up to a cost
of *500 per year. Subsistence pay
ments are $90 a month for veterans
with dependents and $65 for those
without dependents.
Veterans desiring further informa
tion on the above discussed subjects
are asked bo call at the Veterans
Contact office at 1113 Boyce street.
