ARMY INCREASES AID FOR STUDENTS

The Army has increased to $30,000 the maximum amount of money for college available to qualified applicants to the new Army College Fund.

A soldier who completes a four-year enlistment would have $833.33 per month for each of the four years of college, based on a nine-month academic year. The money also may be used for other schooling approved by the Veterans Administration.

To qualify for the Montgomery GI Bill and the new Army College Fund, an applicant must have a high-school diploma, achieve a score of at least 50 on the entrance aptitude test, enlist in a designated job skill and meet the other enlistment requirements.

For more information, see or call an Army recruiter.
