The schools get from $40 to $50 a month. for each veteran, plus certain costs for equipment and supplies. To qualify, the schools must be approved by state approving authorities. Stirling has asking Congress for $8.600.000 to set up a VA unit to screen applications from veterans who have completed one course and now want to use up their education entitlement by 'taking still another course.
