In state tuition law for veterans

[29palms]

University of Phoenix is a private school so it is definitely not cheap. Arizona State tuition averages under 12k per year for residents including fees. Compared to most other states, this is pretty inexpensive. Why wouldn't someone take advantage? Tuition is fairly low, housing is affordable and the cost of living her overall is great.

Hey I concur. Arizona is a nice place to be when its -20 in Buffalo. I would take advantage of this to be honest with you. At my stage of the game, I am not moving to Arizona, but there is a bit of a hub there with us in Phoenix. Got some friends working there. Truthfully, I don't know if my grades are good enough to get in there, but being-st I have a couple of Associates degrees, though not impressive in grades, they may take me in the system, plus at my age.....and work experience. But to be honest. I am not in the market for going back to school. I would have to gather up all of my transcripts, don't think they have an aviation department where my aviation school would count towards a Bachelors in something, but never looked into it. I have an AAS in Aviation Mx Technology and A.A, plus A&P. Would be cool to work in Phoenix and attend the college at nights or weekends or whenever just to push further in education. If anything, maybe some certificate. Also, have you heard of VRAP? I just found out about this today, but you gotta be unemployed and not drawing any other benefits. That blocks me right there. It was made for veterans that didn't take advantage of their GI bill since they usually give them a window to complete it. Usually like 10 years which is beans really. I don't know why they don't make it for life. Made for older veterans age 35-60 for retraining assistance. Basically, pay for you to get a trade or certificate to get you on the job. This would be great if I were unemployed but I'm not thankfully. I bet there was a time or two I could have used this benefit. I think they are trying to extend it.
