what resources are available to use , to get my bachelors in elementary education? besides GI Bill and Voc Rehab?

PFC Ryan Vance Check with the university you want to attend's Office of Student Financial Aid." And the schools, "College of Education." Some states today are offering free tuition if you sign a contract to teach in that state for a certain number of years after you graduate. I got $17,500 of my student loans waived for teaching a critically short subject area for five years in a Title 1 school.

Best of luck to you Brother. Let us know how it all works out.

Your state's Department of Veterans Affairs (could be called something different) will have state programs that are tailored to your specific area.

Am I correct in SWAGing that you live in Missouri (You're employed by Schnuck Markets and they are most heavily concentrated near St. Louis, Missouir). If so, the Service Officer Locator for the Veterans Commission is https://mvc.dps.mo.gov/service/serviceofficer/
(if in Illinois - https://www2.illinois.gov/veterans/Pages/ServiceOffices.aspx)
(if in Indiana - https://www.in.gov/dva/locate-your-cvso/)

Again, they will be most knowledgeable about state resources/benefits, but should have a wide-ranging knowledge.

Of course, these are in addition to the excellent suggestions by Cpl Vic Burk, SGM (Join to see), and others.
