Birdie Anderson ran the nonprofit Next Stage Inc., to house struggling veterans. Anderson pleaded guilty to pocketing the money instead.
 
There’s a new tool for veterans and dependents researching schools.
Financial information on universities is now just a click away. The College Scorecard website contains information on costs, student debt and loan default rates of institutions across the United States.
