The G.I. Bill of 1944, officially known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, provided various benefits for returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as G.I.s). One of the key provisions of this bill was to offer federal funds to help veterans cover the costs of their education, which significantly increased the number of Americans who could afford to go to college or receive vocational training.
