In this April 8, 2014 photo, Tim Wendt, left, director of financial aid and veteran services at Parkland College, and Kristina Taylor, coordinator of veterans and military personnel, stand outside the new Veterans Resource Center at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill.

Wendt says the school will spend $600,000 this year on Veterans Grant funding. (AP Photo/The News-Gazette, John Dixon) MANDATORY CREDIT
