NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Veterans and service members will soon have more options for college thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The program is open to veterans and active duty members.
Here's how it works:
Active duty members can get money for books, free full state tuition, or up to $17,000 for private school tuition.
Veterans are allowed all of the above plus nearly $700 for housing.
It applies to any school, and all students need to do is ask for the school certifying official at any university.
