Veterans Upward Bound program now available With the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill in effect Aug. 1, the Veterans Upward Bound program at UND is available to qualified veterans planning to enroll in college or technical school in the near future or take the GED tests. Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education as a TRiO project. VUB provides veterans with free academic refresher courses in English, basic computer and math, as well as academic guidance services to assure they are ready to succeed in their educational pursuits. That includes free preparation to take the COMPASS college entrance exam. Information regarding the GI Montgomery Bill or the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill can be found by contacting your local County Veterans Service office or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website at www.va.gov. For more information about VUB or to receive a complete class schedule for UND, please contact Shelle Michaels at 777-6465, or call toll free at 1-800-570-5719.
