Summary
Veterans' Educational Transition Act of 2013 - Requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to disapprove, for purposes of the all-volunteer force or post-9/11 educational assistance program, a course of education provided by a public institution of higher education if such institution charges veterans who are living in the state of such institution while taking such course tuition and fees at a rate higher than that charged to residents of such state, regardless of the veteran's regular state of residence. Provides that it shall not be grounds for such disapproval if the institution requires the veteran to demonstrate an intent to establish residency in such state in order to be charged the in-state rates.
