This legislation will empower student-veterans seeking to advance their education and will provide them with guidance from institutions of higher learning if they choose to transfer from one college or university to another. Congressman Hice released the following statement in response to the passage of the bill: “Our warfighters are our Nation’s most valuable assets, and this should remain the case when they step back into civilian life. Unfortunately, simply due to a lack of information and counseling, many of our heroes struggle with educational opportunities when they return home. By providing our student-veterans with the right resources, H.R. 5047 will help them acquire the education and training needed to begin a new career after leaving the military. With the passage of the Protecting Veterans’ Educational Choice Act, we are working to address the flaws in the system to ensure that our veterans have the information they need to make the best decision possible for themselves and their families.” ## f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
