submitted 38 years ago by Pub. L. 100-322 to r/title-38-VETERANS-BENEFITS · 213 words · no verdicts yet
This law spells out what a VA Scholarship Program award covers each school year: tuition, other education costs, and a monthly stipend. The VA can pay the school directly instead of the student.
(a) What the scholarship covers. For each school year, a scholarship pays the participant's tuition, other reasonable education costs (like fees, books, and lab expenses), and a stipend set under subsection (b).
(b) The stipend. The stipend can be up to $485 a month, adjusted under section 7631, paid for each of the 12 months starting with the first month of the school year. A participant who is a full-time Department* employee cannot get a stipend at all. A part-time student's stipend must be adjusted as described in sections 7614(1) and 7614(2).
(c) Paying the school directly. The Secretary* may arrange to pay a participant's tuition and other reasonable education costs straight to the school the participant attends. These payments can be made without following the usual rules in section 3324(a) and (b) of title 31.
A scholarship provided to a participant in the Scholarship Program for a school year under the Scholarship Program shall consist of payment of the tuition of the participant for that school year, payment of other reasonable educational expenses (including fees, books, and laboratory expenses) for that school year, and a stipend determined under subsection (b) of this section.
A stipend under this section for a school year shall be payment to the participant of not in excess of $485 per month (adjusted in accordance with section 7631 of this title) for each of the 12 consecutive months beginning with the first month of the school year, except that a stipend may not be paid to a participant who is a full-time employee of the Department*. The stipend of a participant who is a part-time student shall be adjusted as provided in sections 7614(1) and 7614(2) of this title.
The Secretary* may arrange with an educational institution in which a participant in the Scholarship Program is enrolled for the payment to the educational institution of the amounts of tuition and other reasonable educational expenses described in subsection (a) of this section. Such payments may be made without regard to subsections (a) and (b) of section 3324 of title 31.
