U.S. Department of Education. The
U.S. Department of Education has everything military veterans and dependents need to know about pursuing a college degree. They also don't charge fees for their college and financial aid search tools and won't try to sell you an unaffordable education.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans Administration is an excellent source of information on educational assistance for veterans, including comprehensive information on the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-911/ Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The GI Bill website should be the starting point for any veteran.

EleVATE at the University of Pittsburgh. Are you a veteran with a disability who wants to pursue a career in engineering or technology? This program also provides counseling and rehabilitation assistance. Go to www.qolt.pitt.edu/veterans for more information. Deadlines may apply.
Just about every accredited American university offers some kind of financial package for military veterans. Using Google, search on "scholarships for veterans". Read the fine print and make sure the conditions are those that you can live with.
Note: We at the Military Outreach for Service firmly believe that veterans should not pay to obtain the benefits to which they are entitled from their valued and honorable service with the U.S. Armed Forces. There are many commercial websites and sites affiliated with commercial entities that offer scholarship searching services. MOS does not take a position regarding such websites but believe you should start with government and veterans-affiliated websites when making such an important decision about financing your higher education. Follow the ageless advise: let the buyer beware.
