a. Is at least 16 years of age;
b. Has graduated from high school; and
c. Enrolled in a degree program prior to turning age 22 and has not reached the

NOTE: The exception to this age limit is if the child is between the ages of 22-25 and had been unable to enroll in a degree program before the age of 22 due to service in the United States Armed Forces, then the child of the veteran may apply for this benefit until he/she reaches age 26.
