I go to a fairly expensive private college ($30-40k a year) and use my GI Bill. The school is a Yellow Ribbon program school so they cover whatever is left of tuition after the GI Bill payment. I went to a community college before transferring and received a generous "high honors" scholarship for my high GPA. I also don't work so that I can focus solely on knocking out school as fast as possible. My state gives me a "needs based" scholarship because I don't have a job and very little taxable income. On top of all of that I also got a Pell Grant from the state based on financial need. I get to pocket all scholarships and grants because of the GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon program, which gives about a $11k tuition refund check each semester. Those checks, on top of the GI Bill housing allowance, lets me live quite comfortably while I'm in school.
The moral of the story is to do your research and take advantage of every potential grant, scholarship, etc. available to you and basically get paid to go to school!
What you going for?
@@skriptnel0053 I finished my BSBA (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) with a minor in Strategic Leadership in 3 years. I still have a years worth of GI Bill benefits so I figure I may as use it to pay for most of an MBA in the near future.
@@tyrantrex734 How many years did you serve?

Their comfy bro, still i wouldnt walk around with that shit on lol.
They are beyond comfortable
I'm going to a campus with a lot of veterans, so I believe assimilation will be easy for my case.
I went to school during the end of Nam war, we got ZERO assimilation from civilian students and from most of campus community. Our Vet Club however had 400 plus members, we wound up running the government, we were a family that type of family,think Goodfella's.
I haven't finished the video but the black girl's comment about the kids talking reminded me of one instance after I got out and went to college. So was in class, Professor is trying to talk and the kids are all talking. Big class so yeh even if the Professor asks them to keep quiet it didn't help. Now this I found kind of funny because with a class that huge, unless we met prior to the class you didn't know who served and who didn't. But eventually I started to get irritated and just the yelled out "AT EASE!!". The entire room went dead silent turning to look at me and I noticed the few men and women who did serve flinch for a second holding back their reaction. Professor actually appreciated it and spoke to some of us Vets after class. It kind of became a thing for that Semester that when the kids started getting too rowdy one of us would call At Ease to shut them all up.
did the same thing, I stood and roared it.
This has got to be the grossest story I've ever heard.
Robert Bettin , At Easy Nasty. 🤣😂🤣
@@davidwadsworth8982 lmfao
Did the same thing 1972, political Science 202.I stood and yelled it. Kids shut up fast. Other vet in class stood up.
I'm sorry but the music is pissing me off
Vets are often far older than most in college in their first year. They might even be in their thirties.
Freshmen are commonly 18 to 21 and is their first time away from home.
1:18 same dude. I'm either going to join the army or the marines, and after I am discharged, I plan on keeping the fact that im a veteran a secret for a while, unless I end up having dorm mates who are also veterans, but I doubt it. the reason why is because if I join the Marines, many people in my collage might have some negative feelings about Marines personally, so i,Il keep it a secret until my new friends get to know me well enough to where they will be much more understanding of why I would choose to hide it. I think Marines get a bit of a bad reputation, and that's why I might join them. Another reason why I would choose to hide it, especially if I end up becoming a war hero is because I want my fellow students to respect me for me, not my service. I wouldn't mind being told " thank you for your service " once in a while, but I don't want to be popular just because I was In the military. that would be like being a pop star but everyone loving me for my talent. plus, im a modest guy, I don't want to attract any more attention then I have to. that, and I get embarrassed when I'm the center of attention.
Do you think that attending a public institution is more beneficial than attending a private institution, as it relates to my using the G.I. Bill?
Good question! It really depends on the institution and what state you're in. The best advice we can give is for you to consult each school's veteran educational counsellor, and look online for what kind of Veteran Education Benefits the state has.
id say going to a public school, they often have support staff on site.
The Post 9/11 Gi Bill is capped at a certain cost for private institutions. For a public institution it is 100% covered.
Michelle Johnson I'd say yes, other than for yellow ribbon schools
TheMarineRapper out here gettin interviewed
Something about Max wearing his waffle top in doors just screams pog ass bitch
Why? Lmao
What state regulations was Tamala referring too?
I can’t speak on other states, but Texas has the Hazlewood Act. It provides vets 150 hours of tuition exemption at public institutions of higher education.
Really the main thing that can qualify a vet for it is to have your 214 reflect your enlistment location as being in Texas or a resident before enlisting.
Should've gone to college first. Don't be a 30 yr old surrounded by 18 year old kids.😂
Go to school. Get college out of the way first
@@Pissoff56 enlisted guy here😂
I dropped out of HS, got my GED in the Marines and got a degree later. My sons attended College then enlisted, everyone has their own path.
Joined the Marine Corps straight out of High school, got one year left. I’ll be attending college after I’m out. Honestly, I wasn’t ready for college at the time. And being 30 in college is NOT as bad as being an enlisted guy pushing 30, especially if you’re in the Infantry lol 😂
Nah, you can go to college at 22 right after the military
I’m just thinking that it’d be easy for my to but alcohol rather than the 19/20 year olds. I ain’t buying shit, I’ll just tell em to give me money for the drinks
Pogs
