Veterans College Program in South Dakota

It's great to read about money being promised to veterans, but so much better to see it action.  From a US Department of Education grant comes this well-designed program in South Dakota.  If a servicemember wants to start or continue college, the program, called Veterans Upward Bound, helps them catch up on basic courses so they don't have to spend benefit money on those types of classes.  Veteran students are often older; this story describes how the program helps even middle-aged veterans feel more like regular students.  The program offers job assistance too!
