Veterans and Active Military Service Assistance Programs
The U.S. Congress created the G.I. Bill at the end of World War II. Without this bill, the millions of returning war veterans would have been unemployed. There are several facets to this bill, the major ones being subsidized housing and education. This G.I. Bill has been amended in many ways since it was first created; but it is now an important recruitment aspect of the all-volunteer U.S. military. The U.S. Armed Forces offer various types of college assistance, which include: the New GI Bill, the Veterans Assistance Program, ROTC Scholarships, and the Health Professions Loan Repayment Program. The Dean's office at Jones College is experienced with the application of the G.I. Bill and its educational benefits. Some programs offer veterans, their spouses and their children additional benefits. Students can contact the Dean's Office for more information regarding Veteran Programs, training and subsistence allowances and tuition rates.
In-Service
This benefit is reserved for veterans who are currently on active duty who have completed their initial obligation to the military. Active duty veterans are also eligible under the Tuition Assistance Program. Information on the Tuition Assistance Program may be obtained from the educational liaison at any military base.
