My husband just retired (12/1/19) and we have a sophomore at the University of Alabama on the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and another daughter who is a sophomore in high school. We currently live in FL. My husband split the GI Bill between the girls. We were able to get my oldest daughter in-state tuition, so the next 2 years won’t be too bad. I have 2 questions: 1. Are there scholarships for retiree’s dependents and 2. If my youngest daughter decides to go to school in NC, does NC offer any special considerations for dependents of military personnel (retired) who signed up for the military in NC? I was told that if military members signed up in the state of AL, their dependents can attend college at not cost in the state of AL. Does NC offer anything like this?
Thanks!
