Note regarding the new G.I. Bill from our experts on the matter: As is the case with most new federal programs, we in the financial aid world are still awaiting guidance from the feds in terms of the details and how we are supposed to be treating the new benefits. I have a couple of good resources that you can use for your website that will at a minimum give students a place to look for information and updates as they become available. This is the Department of Veterans Affairs site specifically for the GI Bill. Here is the summary article from NASFAA (National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators).  The W&M Registrar has a page with info and links here.
