Keith Hauk, associate vice president of Veterans Initiatives and Military Support for University of Maryland University College Stateside Military Operations, shares information about the Forever GI Bill in the final installment of CBS Radio’s ConnectingVets.com three-part series, which showcases the sacrifice and achievement of UMUC’s military students and the information veterans need to pursue their higher-education goals.

The Forever GI Bill, signed into law in August 2017, marks the most comprehensive changes to the GI Bill since passage of the Post-9/11 version in 2008. In his article, Hauk outlines some of the Bill’s new provisions that enhance or expand education benefits for veterans, service-members, families and survivors.
