Education for former Marine

I am a former U.S Marine who is out of work and has been going to a Welding School for the past 7 months in which I have completed my professional welder course with a 3.5 GPA, and am continuing onto Inspector School for my degree. Somehow the military has denied me my educational benefits & im having to pay for all of this on my own. I'm already $17,000 into it, Any help would be great and when I reach my goal I will choose another Marine to pass this fund on to. There will be a contest to see what Marine will get it next.
