When I arrived in Hawaii, I needed to find a job. But I had limited work experience and no college degree. My best friend asked me why I wasn’t in school. I was afraid. But after talking to some educational advisors, I immediately registered for classes. The counselors and professors were fantastic, and have supported me every step of the way.” Call (888) 442-4551 or visit va.gov/education/about-gi-bill-benefits/how-to-usebenefits/test-fees. • Private Military Spouse Scholarships – Varying from school to school, these range from assistance for foreign first-born spouses and minorities to those involved with community service projects. • Military-Friendly College Discounts– Many institutions offer up to 50 percent in discounts that vary with degree seeking level and program.
