McLean Marine Faces Unexpected College Bill

A former U.S. Marine who fought in Iraq and who recently moved to McLean was featured in a TV story yesterday because he's run into a problem with the new GI bill.

WUSA-TV reporter and McLean neighbor Peggy Fox reported: "A breakdown in the system has put his life on hold and left him with mounting college debt."

Donald Stutsman, 30, "would rather be in college today than tinker with his jeep.  But Northern Virginia Community College won't re-admit him, or give him his transcripts until he pays a $2,719.50 bill for the last semester.  He enrolled under the GI Bill and says he was told his tuition was all covered."

It wasn't. Read the complete story here.
