Amends the veterans' educational assistance program to allow an individual who was on active duty on August 2, 1990, and who completes the requirements of a secondary school diploma (or equivalency certificate) before 12 months after the enactment of this Act to be considered to have completed such requirements within his or her initial obligated period of active duty, thus qualifying for such educational assistance after release or discharge from active duty. (Current law requires completion of school diploma requirements during the initial active duty period.) Provides a similar extension of such diploma completion requirements in the case of members of the Selected Reserve, except for requiring completion of such requirements within 11 months after the enactment of this Act. Requires the Secretary of each military department to notify individuals who have not met the diploma requirements of the extension of such periods under this Act. Credits an individual who becomes eligible for educational assistance subsequent to his or her initial period of service with the amount of basic pay reduced for participation in such educational assistance program. Applies such credit to an individual whose initial period of active duty began after June 30, 1985, and ended less than one year later with release without a bar to reenlistment. Makes such provision applicable to former members of the Selected Reserve, reducing such educational entitlement by any amount used in the earlier period of service. Bars the provision of armed forces educational assistance to individuals enrolled in education or training under the Government Employees Training Act. (Currently, such assistance is barred only if such individual is receiving such education or training and being paid full salary.) Requires apprenticeship or on-job training establishments to certify the hours completed by an individual under the Montgomery GI Bill educational assistance program for members of the Selected Reserve. Prohibits approval of a nonaccredited course of education pursued in whole or in part by independent study for participation in the veterans' educational assistance program.

Prohibits the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from approving the enrollment of any eligible veteran in any course: (1) of flight training other than one given by a higher education institution and leading toward a standard college degree; (2) to be pursued by radio or open circuit television, with an exception; and (3) for any period in which the Secretary finds that more than 85 percent of the students so enrolled are having all or part of their tuition and fees paid by the educational institution or the Department under the veterans' or armed forces' educational assistance programs, unless the Secretary determines such a course to be in the best interest of the eligible veteran and the Government. Provides other exceptions to such prohibitions. Applies a savings provision to persons currently enrolled in a nonaccredited course of independent study. Reduces, for purposes of eligibility in the veterans' or survivors' and dependents' educational assistance programs, the number of clock hours of attendance required for institutional trade or technical courses not leading to a standard college degree to be considered a full-time course, and therefore eligible for participation in the programs. Provides that a course not leading to a standard college degree from an educational institution on a quarter- or semester-hour basis and offered by an entity that is not an institution of higher learning shall not be considered to be full-time if it requires less than the weekly minimum hours of full-time attendance required for institutional trade or technical courses measured on a clock hour basis. Repeals provisions providing for the computation of the monthly educational assistance allowance to be paid on behalf of an eligible individual pursuing: (1) an independent study program which leads to a standard college degree; and (2) a course in part by open circuit television. Provides a death benefit to the survivor of an individual entitled to basic education assistance who dies within one year after discharge or release from active duty (currently, who dies while on active duty) in the amount of unused educational assistance. Provides basic veterans' educational assistance entitlement for regular and Selected Reserve members who were on active duty at any time during the period between October 19, 1984, and July 1, 1985 (currently, continuous service within such period is required) and who meet certain other requirements after June 30, 1985.
