    I received the policy from Southern Methodist University about their tuition for service member. I spoked with one of the admission rep, she told me that I am egilible for tuition discount under DANTES agreement at http://www.dantescatalogs.com/DEDC/DEDC.asp?RecID=62; however, she is not 100% sure.

    I serve four years in the Marine Corps, and I am getting out this July to in-active reserve. And yes, I am aligible for Montgomery G.I Bill. I just want to know what is your intrerpretation base on their policy? Do you think I am egilible for tuition discount at SMU Engineering? Thanks.
