About The GI Bill: A Generation Goes to College
On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, quickly known as the GI Bill, into law. It offered returning veterans low-cost mortgages, tuition payments, and living stipends that made a college degree a genuine possibility for millions of American families. Campuses that had been quiet during the war years filled almost overnight with students carrying textbooks and a hard-won sense of purpose.
