The Bangor Daily News spoke to Tony Llerena, coordinator of UMaine’s Office of Veterans Education and Transition Services, about the possibility of student-soldiers losing tuition aid because of federal cuts. Llerena said about 30 of the 200 student-soldiers at UMaine receive federal tuition assistance and knows a lot of those students depend on that money. He said he’s interested to see how the university will help them if their aid gets cut.
