By James Stockton Reporter

Veterans attending Baylor will no longer receive as much financial aid from the Post 9/11 GI Bill as they used to, effective Aug. 1. In December 2010, Congress passed the Post 9/11 Veterans Edu- cation Assistance Improvements Act of 2010, an amendment to the original GI Bill, which has been a source of financial aid for veterans attending college since 1944. There are numerous changes to the bill, including adding those who served in the National Guard to the list of those who can receive aid, but one change in particular is Matt Hellman | Lariat Photographer affecting Baylor students. “The most significant thing is that private and foreign schools are Bitter Defeat capped at $17,500 annually,” Pam Edwards, veteran affairs coordina- Nearing the end of Baylors’ Elite Eight Regional NCAA Tournament game against Texas A&M, Avon, Colo. sophomore Shanna Zoch and Midlothian freshman Garrett Cornett tor at Baylor, said. express their disappointment at Baylor’s poor performance.
