Vets with No More Gl Dough
May Still Get State Assistance
i Oregon World War II veterans
who have exhausted their GI bene
fits may continue their schooling
under state educational assistance
for the length of time spent in ac
tive service, according to Edward
i. Taggart, educational officer for
the state department of veterans’
affairs.
State aid to eligible veterans is
$35 per month for those attending
40 approved educational institu
tions, including vocational schools.
The veterans must have served
six months or more in the armed
forces, have received an honorable
discharge, have resided in Oregon
for one year prior to entering the
service, and be a resident of the
state at the present time.
Monthly payments are based up
on the number of months spent in
active service up to 36 months.
Approximately 1600 veterans
have taken advantage of state aid,
Taggart said, for part-time and
evening classes and for regular
high school and college courses.
He pointed out that 1947 amend
ments to the educational aid act
permit retroactive payments to
students who may have neglected
to apply for the benefits at the
start of any term.
Application may be made
through the department of veter
ans’ affairs, state library building,
Salem, and at 416 S.W. 11th Ave.,
Portland.
