    How would this policy change affect which colleges and universities Selected Reserve members can attend using their GI Bill benefits?

  2. 02

    What trade-offs might states face between keeping in-state tuition rates low for all students and accepting federal restrictions on their tuition policies?

  3. 03

    Why do you think Congress targeted out-of-state tuition charges specifically for Selected Reserve members rather than all GI Bill users?
