I used VR&E to get a master's degree, but that's not how I started...At first I thought I was going to use it for an accelerated BSN. But right before starting, I switched over to completing my MS in Project Management. We don't all go in straight lines...I was surprised at the work required to apply for and be approved for VR&E. Here is what I learned.

VR&E Application Assignment includes:Career Exploration Guide:- Find 10-15 job postings for the career you are pursuing in your area that required the degree you want- Include school curriculum for the program you want to do- Discuss your disability restrictions for said career path and how your injuries relate to your current role vs desired role- Discuss job postings and if you’re willing to move, need anything extra etc.- Answer several questions about your current role, desired role and VA ratings- Research 2-3 schools with a program that you could attend to complete goal- WRITE a career proposal about your research and why you want to pursue said job

This isn't as straightforward as applying to use the GI Bill. Good luck!
