GI Bill for a new era kicking in - SCOTT WALDMAN, Albany Times-Union
Passed by Congress last year, the program officially is underway. The new, more generous incentives will allow more veterans to pursue degrees in out-of-state public institutions, private schools as well as do graduate work they might have once considered too expensive to be within reach, he said. Distance online learning institutions have already seen an increase. Empire State College, based in Saratoga Springs, expects up to 200 new students this year at its 35 locations in New York and abroad. Excelsior already saw a doubling in the number of its students receiving GI benefits, to 3,200 this past academic year, said Tom Dalton, the associate vice president of enrollment management.
