Almost all of the University's 1,311 veteran students are scheduled to receive their federal subsistence checks within the next two weeks, according to a veterans Administration statement made Friday.

Despite the high number of veterans currently enrolled in local colleges, virtually all checks should arrive by Christmas, the VA has announced. The monthly aid granted to single students is $119, while a wife and child will each add $25 to this amount.
