Wis. lawmakers may scale back tuition program for veterans (AP)

MADISON, Wis. â?? Lawmakers are moving to scale back a fast-growing tuition benefit program for Wisconsin veterans, eliminating the promise of free graduate school and a lifetime to use the aid.

Their plan also would shortchange the landmark program by tens of millions of dollars, forcing universities and technical colleges to raise tuition or make cuts to other programs to accommodate the veterans who are enrolling in greater numbers than expected.
