Vets studying
under post-
Korean bill
The Post-Korean, or third
generation, G. I. Bill educa
tion and training program will
begin its third year of opera
tion on June 1, 1968.
During the past two years
more than 6,043 veterans and
1,261 servicemen entered train
ing in South Carolina under
the Veterans’ Readjustment
Benefits Act of 1966, Stanley
Zuk, Manager of the Columbia
Veterans Administration Reg
ional Office, said today.
Nationally, more than 732,-
000 veterans and an additional
43,000 servicemen entered ed
ucation and training in the
first two years of the current
G. I. Bill, Zuk said.
The Veterans’ Readjustment
Benefits Act of 1966, or Post-
Korean G. I. Bill, grants VA
educational assistance of one
month, up to a maximum of 36
months (four school years) for
each month of service.
Eligible for assistance a r e
veterans who served on active
duty at least 180 days, part of
which was after January 31st,
1955, and servicemen with at
least two consecutive years of
active duty.
Of the nearly 7,304 veterans
and servicemen in South Caro
lina who have taken advantage
of Post-Korean G. I. Bill edu
cation and training benefits,
more than 3,027 entered insti
tutions of higher learning, Zuk
explained.
Nearly two-thirds of all
Post-Korean G. I. Bill students
have entered college level train
ing. By comparison, Zuk said,
cnly about half of the veterans
who went to school under the
Korean Conflict G. I. Bill en
tered institutions of higher
learning. Less than one - third
of the World War II Veterans
took college level training, he
noted.
Since June 1, 1966, more than
3,911 veterans and servicemen
entered schools in South Car
olina below the college level.
