Deadline For Veteran
Training July 25,1951
Must Be Enrolled By the
Deadline to Continue
Education
The deadline for starting GI Bill
courses of education and training for
most veterans is now less than a year
away, July 25, 1951, Veterans’ Ad
ministration reminds veterans.
This coming fall school term, for
example, will be the final fall term
when most veterans may enter or re
enter GI Bill training. They still may
begin their studies later than this fall,
so long as it’s before the 1951 date.
Most veterans actually must be in
training by the deadline if they want
to continue afterwards. VA will con
sider a veteran to be in training, even
though he has temporarily interrupted
his course for summer vacation or for
other reasons beyond his control.
Once he completes or discontinues
his program of training after the 1951
date, he may not start another course.
Also, he must meet these require
ments:
He will be expected to pursue his
training “continuously until comple
tion, except for conditions which nor
mally would cause interruption by any
student.”
He may change his educational ob
jective “only while in training and
then for reasons satisfactory to the
Administrator.”
The July 25, 1951, cut-off date does
not apply to veterans discharged after .
July 25, 1947. They have four years
from the date of discharge in which
to begin GI Bill training. They must,
however, finish training by July 25,
1956.
