Better Schools for Veterans: Changes in Education Funding Rules

New regulations aim to improve the quality of education for veterans by changing the rules for their educational funding. The act specifies when educational institutions can enroll veterans receiving financial assistance, ensuring that the majority of students are not solely funded by veteran benefits. This is intended to protect veterans from schools that might overly rely on their benefits.
Key points
Educational institutions cannot enroll new veterans if over 85% of students have their fees paid by the institution or the Department of Veterans Affairs, with some exceptions.
An appeal process is established for institutions that do not meet these requirements, allowing them to explain their situation.
Certain types of courses and institutions are exempt from these limitations, such as those with a small number of students receiving veteran benefits.
The Department of Veterans Affairs can waive these rules if it is in the interest of the veteran and the federal government.
