Show 10,000 CHILDREN OF VETS ATTEND SCHOOL ON VA ASSISTANCE Approximately 10,000 young men and women are attending school this fall under the two-year two-year old War Orphans Education Educa-tion program. The education program for sons and daughters of deceased war veterans became effective in October, 1956. War orphan students generally gen-erally must be between 18 and 23 years of age, VA said. They either must have completed-or have been a pupil in a regular high school. They may receive re-ceive up to 36 months of education edu-cation with VA paying an allowance of up to $110 a month for each month they are in school. Before they start school they are given vocational counseling to help them select a goal and the proper course leading to the goal. To be eligible, their veteran-parent must have died from a wartime-incurred disability. |
