California Lutheran University announced a program Monday that would allow veterans to attend the private school for free. The Thousand Oaks school said that under the G.I. Bill, the government will cover $20,235 a year in tuition. Now the school will cover 50 percent of the remaining tuition, and a Veterans Administration program will provide a matching amount for an unlimited number of veterans. Total tuition amounts to $36,690 a year. The arrangement covers both undergraduate and graduate students. Cal Lutheran has a veterans coordinator who organizes events and helps with enrollment, financial aid and academic issues.
