When U.S. Armed Forces personnel return from Afghanistan and Iraq, many enroll in college with funding from the Post-9/11 GI Bill or the Forever 9/11 GI Bill. Veteran college students (VCSs) are usually older than traditional college students (TCSs) and have minimal experience navigating the college system. There was a gap in research exploring peer-to-peer tutoring between VCSs and TCSs. Findings revealed that peer-to-peer tutoring did significantly improve learning strategies, academic satisfaction, or motivation. Other factors may have influenced the results that did support peer-to-peer tutoring (e.g., the university in the study already had a robust veteran program to accommodate VCSs. The researcher collected quantitative data via the Motivated Strategies for Learning questionnaire and Academic Satisfaction survey. A demographic survey collected covariate variables (i.e., gender, marriage status, type of college, degree level, age, military service years, GPA) from 128 university students in Virginia. Tutored VCSs worked with TCSs for a minimum of one hour per week and maintained journal entries for 16-weeks. Participants entered a drawing for one
