When I had to stop taking courses was about a year after I had saved up enough money that savings + GI Bill + financial aid would cover tuition, books and living expenses. There was a paperwork screwup on my financial aid that meant I couldn't pay tuition which meant I couldn't get the GI Bill payments which meant I couldn't cover rent which meant I had to get a job. The end result being I never had a need to go back to school.
while their amount per year is low, for low to middle income earners, it's enough to be the difference between not having the option and cutting back a bit to be able to go to school. Sure, there's no way to have it pay for a state or ivy league school, but if your only skill is low-level employee in a warehouse, working towards an associates degree or taking management courses can greatly improve your station.
