Post #15 Final Abstract, Bibliography, and Link to Your Paper

Abstract:

   With the rising costs of tuition at institutes of higher education, the average student looks towards the federal government for help. After many years of legislation and passed bills only students who have formerly served in the military seem to have receive the most benefits. Are students who have formerly served in the military receiving special benefits from the federal government, or are veterans earning their education as another lieu of payment? Veterans who use their GI Bill are they receiving fair compensation or are they being set up to be targeted by for profit institutions? What makes it possible for the common person to support free education for GI's while the average student deals with loans and debt?
