It's the FAFSA form you have to fill out for virtually all financial aid to be considered, no matter the source. the FAFSA is tied to government financial aid, but all Unis here use it to determine even non government scholarships.
Don't get me wrong...I completely favor no one serving five terms overseas! And I admire people serving/who have served in the military. I just think our government can do a better job at treating the military and our vets, and maybe more will want to sign up voluntarily. Which is very noble, admirable, and worthwhile.
My dad is a vet, then came home and was in Law Enforcement for 30 years. Most of my uncles served (one came home from Nam with 3 Purple Hearts, we're glad he's alive!) my grandpa served...(before that many of my relatives were Native Americans so no, they didn't serve...)
