Some of you will have exhausted your Chapter 33 GI Bill before starting your professional school and paying for medical school is challenging. If your GI Bill is exhausted, in addition to applying for The Tillman Scholarship, you can apply for these other great scholarships for veterans. As I find other sources for you guys behind me, I will put them up on this blog. Please give me feedback and let me know if this information is of use to you.

The following is from my Veteran's listserv:
"The passage of the Post 9/11 GI Bill has improved the ability of many veterans to financially achieve their academic goals.

SVA Chapter Leader Scholarship
SVA Yellow Ribbon Scholarship
SVA STEM Scholarship
SVA has allocated up to $10,000 for each scholarship for the calendar year 2012, to be disbursed based on financial need and SVA's discretion. The three scholarships each have their own focus and individual criteria, explained below and in the SVA Scholarships Guide. Student veterans wishing to compete for one of these scholarships must provide all the required documentation by the advertised due date to be considered. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated.
Hopefully, these efforts will assist some of the student veterans who have fallen through the cracks and are financially unable to complete their academic goals."

This is an interesting article. My friend is looking for nursing schools around the country. After doing some research he found out that nursing schools in PA are ranked very high. Pennsylvania is also a nice place to live. I hope he gets in!
