| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine veterans' educational intentions as well as the factors influencing their college choices. Individual interviews were conducted with 30 veterans separating from military service who were eligible for military educational benefits. Results indicated 80 percent of veterans planned to utilize their military educational benefits to pursue postsecondary education when they separate from the military. Veterans rated four factors as influential in their college attendance decisions including preparation for a new career, anticipation of high financial returns, utilization of an earned benefit, and the desire to obtain a higher education credential. Veterans' rationale for nonattendance included three major factors, including a lack of interest or belief in higher education, performance concerns, and perceived lack of resources or competing responsibilities.
