SCHEV Provides Link Between Service Members and College Education
To take full advantage of all the military benefits offered by Virginia, service members need to know about them. That is why the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) has put all that information in one place at http://www.schev.edu/MilitaryEducation.asp . This new link on the SCHEV website includes details regarding financial benefits for active duty military members, financial benefits for family members of active duty members, and education benefits for military veterans and their families. The website also provides links to the separation and reinstatement policies at all of Virginia’s public colleges and universities along with other helpful resources such as information about the GI Bill and the Virginia Department of Veterans Services.
