Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for basic eligibility for educational assistance benefits under the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship because he was not enrolled in an eligible program of education.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's degree program, coded as 31.0505 (Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Fitness Studies), does not fall within a statutorily authorized STEM category and does not require more than the standard credit hours for completion.
