Liberty University offers woulded Veterans scholarships

Liberty University is leading the way in support of wounded Veterans.

I hope that other public and state colleges around the country follow their lead. With the increase in injuries with soldiers loosing limbs, the ability to earn a good education is becoming even more valuable to Veterans.

Do not be a dumb as. and wait till the end of your ten years to use your military college benefits. As more soldiers return from the war the need for higher education will continue to increase.
