If you’re a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, you may have access to educational benefits through the GI Bill and similar programs. In addition to helping veterans attend traditional four-year colleges, these benefits can also be applied to vocational schools and apprenticeships.
In this guide, Intelligent breaks down the different benefits available to veterans for non-traditional post-secondary education and reviews other important details such as eligibility, costs, and making the transition from soldier to working civilian.
Dr. Anne Fernando will leave the Health System on September 13, 2024. She is relocating to another state due to a new opportunity. Please join us in expressing our gratitude for her exceptional care during her time with us!
