Currently, GI Bill benefits are worth just $1,101 monthly, and many are wonder how the infusion of new funds for veterans might impact where they choose to attend college. The GI Bill expansion is estimated to cost $62 billion over 10 years. + Be sure to check in with the Veterans Administration to learn how to take advantage of your new benefits Scholarship Update + If you could send a message on a science, technology, or health issue to the next U.S. president and Congress, what would it be? + Voice your vision for science and society to win cash and other prizes!
