Bill 2.0 &#8230; this revamped version of the G.I. Bill \u00c2\u00a0 finally rises up to meet the challenges of\u00c2\u00a0 our present social and economic environment;\u00c2\u00a0 the improved GI Bill benefit will cover up to the cost of in-state tuition at the most expensive public college in a veteran\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s state, it includes a monthly housing stipend, and a $1,000 a year for books. There is also a &#8220;Yellow Ribbon Program&#8221; component to the bill in which the government matches funds to private colleges that cover part of the difference in tuition over and above costs at public institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is sure to encourage veterans to enroll in colleges and universities as it greatly increases their choice and access to education. The veterans are ready and they are coming;\u00c2\u00a0 Higher Education institutions had better prepare now to address the myriad of issues that will inevitably arise as\u00c2\u00a0 this new crop of highly-motivated and dedicated students arrives on campus. The incentives will be there, hopefully, to motivate veterans to enroll and graduate. see also &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/newgibill.org\/\">Campaign for the new G.I.
