What exactly does this mean?

Hi, after reading this article please tell me what this means ie. Will military service members be able to get the $4500 tuition assistance again before college starts in the fall?

It would have to go to the House and then the President for approval. Not sure if that will happen. This is particularly important for enlisted. Many have joined the military at 18, 19 or 20. They use the money to take courses online or at nearby colleges. It is the opportunity for many to begin college. $4500 seems very little when compared to what many of us have spent on full time tuition each year. But when you look at the salary rates for enlisted it can be a great deal of money. Keep in mind many are supporting their own families.
