    Supporting Veterans in Education Abroad through Cross-Campus Collaboration

    Session Description: 

    A community discussion led by the University of Alabama on how to advise veteran students on options for applying VA funding towards an education abroad experience.
     
    University of Alabama developed a collaborative cross-departmental approach to address questions from students regarding the circumstances under which VA funding can be utilized for education abroad experiences. The result of these efforts is regular cross-communication between the campus Veterans Affairs Office and the Education Abroad Office to ensure that students know how funds can be utilized.
