The Board denied the Veteran's claim for eligibility to educational assistance benefits under 38 U.S.C. § 3320, known as the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, due to a lack of qualifying service after September 10, 2001.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have any period of active duty service after September 10, 2001, which is required for eligibility under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and, consequently, the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship.
