Denied
The Veteran's application for the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship was denied because he was not enrolled in an eligible program of education and would not exhaust his Chapter 33 benefits within 180 days of the application.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's graduate degree in medicine is not an eligible program for the STEM scholarship, and he had used more than 180 days' worth of his Chapter 33 benefits at the time of his application.
