Expanding Fry Scholarship Eligibility for Veterans' Families
This act expands eligibility for the Fry Scholarship, which helps cover education costs. Now, in addition to families of service members who died in the line of duty, spouses and children of individuals who died from a service-connected disability within 120 days of leaving service will also receive support. These changes aim to provide greater educational assistance to veterans' families.
