Merrill Institute accepts VA education benefits to cover welding program tuition

Merrill Institute, Alma, Mich., has announced that U.S. veterans can use their VA education benefits to cover tuition costs for its 12-week, 522-hour welding program. Because the program is an AWS SENSE Level 1 program, successful graduates receive AWS certification.

The welding program includes training in SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW processes. It also includes training for blueprint reading, welding inspection and testing, and weld symbol and drawing interpretation.
