GI Bill
The state House of Representatives on May 13 unanimously passed a measure that would offer free college education to National Guard members who reenlist for six years and their family members.
House Bill 1234, the PA GI Bill, was sponsored by state Rep. Stephen Barrar, R-Delaware.
The bill would offer up to 10 semesters of free college education at the 14 state-owned and operated universities, and would extend those benefits from service members to their spouses and children.
