Mississippi State University Survey of DEA/Chapter 35 Students
During the late fall, Dr. Melinda Pilkinton, Assistant Professor of Social Work, will survey widows and children who are enrolled in education and training under this VA program. The purpose of the Internet-based survey will be to learn how well the DEA program is meeting the education and training needs of beneficiaries who are using (or have used) the program. The survey will be posted on the university’s Social Science Research Center website. Various national higher education organizations will assist in the survey which is not limited to GSW members. Watch the GSW website and the message boards for the date that the survey becomes available or contact Darryl Kehrer at dk192@msstate.edu. *
*Note: This survey is part of an effort to Dependents Education Assistance (Chapter 35) funding increased for surviving spouses and children.
