Example Question for President Obama:
With several thousand servicemen and -women returning home in search of services to help them re-enter the classroom, the need for supportive services through TRIO Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) are needed now more than ever. Will the White House Administration commit to investing in VUB so the dream of higher education can come true for those who have sacrificed so much for our nation?
