Show Veterans Should Apply Now for Tech Fall Quarter Veterans eligible for GI education benefits should apply now for the coming fall quarter at Utah Tchnical College at Provo, according to Anthony Famulary, director of the veterans program at Utah Tech. Those eligible, he said, include in-clude veterans who were released from active duty on or after Dec. 20, 1966. A veteran has 10 years, he pointed out, to utilize his educational assistance allowance under the GI bill. By applying now, or at least six weeks prior to fall quarter registration, a veteran can receive an advance paycheck upon registration at Utah Tech, said Mr. Famulary, who maintains an office at Utah Tech Mondays through Fridays to receive veteran inquiries and l registrants. A single veteran attending school full-time can receive $270 per month and a married veteran $321 with additional benefits for children. Other advantages for early registration is that nearly all programs now have openings for first year students and counseling and facilities will not be as crowded as later in the summer. For those veterans whose eligibility has expired under the present 10-year limit, Mr. Famulary noted that a bill is now in congress which, if it becomes law, would extend the limit another year and would also increase the actual months which school may be attended from 36 to 45. Veterans interested in finding fin-ding out about this bill, H.R. 14142, or uring its support, should contact their congressman, K. Gunn McKay, 1427 Longworth Building, Washington D.C., 20515. |
