Shorted Vietnam Vet Breaks Through Education Barrier
The Vietnam GI Bill pays $175 per month for a single veteran, far below World War II or Korea benefits. The VETS program pairs two veterans per 40 hour job, each studying full time and working 20 hours weekly, aiming to raise college attendance and total veteran earnings by about $2,500 annually. Initiated in 10 cities with a $2 million OEO grant, the effort faces reluctance among ex-GIs to return to school, especially among low income Black, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican veterans.
