Retroactive Scholarship
Most Americans assume that the G.I. Bill guarantees U.S.
Armed Forces personnel access to free post-secondary
education. They are surprised to learn that active duty
personnel, reservists, and Veterans have had to take out
student loans to pay for higher education

Shortfalls in the new Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, lingering exclusions from the old Montgomery
G.I. Bill, and educational debt acquired prior to service compromise the lives of
thousands. While there are military educational programs that help relieve this
educational debt, not all Veterans are covered under these programs.

Retroactive Scholarship

Leave No Veteran Behind addresses Veteran student debt head on with its Retroactive
Scholarship Program. Like most scholarships this Leave No Veteran Behind Program is
highly sought. Hundreds of qualified Veterans apply each year, but only a handful are
awarded annually based on need and available funds. Unlike most scholarships, this
award is given after higher education has been completed and student loans have
been made because the Veteran was not covered under existing educational
programs. Each year, the Leave No Veteran Behind Scholarship Committee selects
Veteran recipients. Recipients get their student loan accounts paid off in full. Veterans 
must have completed some form of higher education, suffer from economic
hardship,
and have student loans because they were not fully covered by existing
educational programs. In return, all awardees commit to 100-400 hours of
community service 
that leverages their military skills, civilian education, and lack of
indebtedness to help solve the most pressing issues facing their communities.

Leave No Veteran Behind is the only non-profit organization in the nation working to
address Veteran educational debt in these extraordinary ways, thereby continuing its
promise to Veterans by investing in their future
