Greensboro, NC -- North Carolina A&T has the largest veteran population of any Historically Black College and University in the nation.

So today, Jose Riojas with Veterans Affairs spoke on campus.
His visit was to commemorate and answer questions about the new post 9/11 G.I. Bill. It helps cover service members tuition, books, and housing.

Current student and Marine Corporal Michael Jefferies says it will be a major help. "There are different things in place. I've received a Pell Grant, other you know military grants, and a couple of scholarships, but at the end of the day, there's still a balance remaining, usually, so this will cover it in full."
