Imagine being 23 years old and thought of as a war veteran. Imagine coming back to the relatively carefree college life after being truly in the real world, fighting a real war. I suspect veterans have a unique perspective on education and possibilities, maybe that’s why veterans are classified as non-traditional students too.

Well the Aggies at Texas A&M have a couple of sweet scholarships for veterans:
