There are more than 420,000 vets in South Carolina which comprise 14-percent of the population. They received $882 million in compensation last year through the Veterans Administration and $60 million in vocational rehabilitation services.
There’s now help for vets who want more education in addition to programs offered through the military and Veterans Administration. AMVETS is one of a handful of veteran?s support organizations in the U.S. National AMVETS Commander John Hapner says scholarships and tuition vouchers are now available for on-line college courses which may be taken through some national chain universities, including University of Phoenix(with physical locations in South Carolina), as well as Kaplan and others. The classes are also open to the spouses and children of vets.
