Digital Learning Activity

The Hazlewood Act represents one of Texas’s most enduring and impactful commitments to its veteran population. This digital learning activity examines the historical origins of veterans’ educational benefits in Texas, the development of the Hazlewood Act, its major legislative revisions, and its current form as a living state policy.

Each page builds on the previous one, guiding you through the evolution of the Act across distinct historical moments. As you move through the site, you will gain:

• A chronological understanding of how Texas has evolved its veteran education policies

• Insight into the legislative motivations behind each major revision

• Awareness of the administrative implications for Texas public institutions

• Space to reflect on how state policy shapes access and equity in higher education

This activity is designed to be self-paced and exploratory. Reflection questions are intended to prompt analysis rather than produce right or wrong answers.
