Veterans Upward Bound Benefits

July 4, 2008 By admin

When a person serves as an enlisted Servicemember in the United States Military they work very hard, and they accrue a number of different benefits that are open to them after their military service is completed. Many of these are education benefits and a Servicemember is eligible, but for one reason or another they do not apply or avail themselves of the opportunity. This can be for several different reasons, there are a number of reasons that people who are veterans hesitate to apply or try to use different benefits that are available to them. Sometimes a veteran will suffer a lack of confidence, especially if it’s been a number of years since they have been in school. This and a number of other reasons often unnecessarily prevent a Veteran from taking full advantage of different lucrative opportunities.

Some veterans suffer from a lack of skills, or they believe that they do not have the chops or potential to make full use of the benefits that they have. Well now there is a specific program designed to try and help re integrate you into academic life. The program is called the Upward Bound Veterans program, and uses the initials VUB for short. It is a specific program that is made to help veterans start or re enter the professional and academic world, and to give them support and encouragement so they can do so assertively and confidently. It is a Department of Education and Veterans Administration joint Federal program that is designed to revitalize and refresh a person, and assist them with different issues. It helps a Veteran brush up on their skills and academic abilities, and gives them the ability to take confidence to complete and enter a number of different educational pursuits. There are several programs involved in the VUB program: Refresher Classes- These are different classes to help give a veteran the confidence in the overall academic ability and skills. It also gives the veteran a chance to brush up on the basics, such as Mathematics, English, History and other subjects. Short Term-There is often short-term classes that give the Veteran the ability to meet a short-term goal. Sometimes this can include such things as getting their HS diploma or a GED or to complete a short-term goal such as vocational training classes or a certification type course.
