That's the $1,000,000 question. We just don't know. The VA website alludes to paying the whole cost of medical tuition, up to the in-state tuition rate, that is.
Here is the link:
and again here:
There is some more information above under post #24 from the legislation itself.
I read an internal document that stated the new GI Bill would only pay up to the highest "undergraduate" rate. The website is ambiguous and I've lost faith in the people that answer the phones many years ago. I think the ambiguity means it will be up to the VA to interpret the legislation. Although the program's funding is already approved, it will likely fall short of being able to cover our med school expenses so I'm betting on an "undergraduate rate" entitlement.
Yeah, that's what I kind of figured. It would be too good to be true huh? And then they would probably lose all of their prior service HPSP applicants huh? I still have a year before I actually go back to school, so maybe there will be better info by then. Thanks tho!
