Key Points

Creates a renewed grant program to help colleges set up or improve on-campus Student Veteran Centers for veterans and service members.
Schools that enroll a high number or high share of student veterans can apply, and must show a plan to keep the center running after the grant ends.
Grants can last 4 years and total up to $500,000 per school or group of schools, to fund space, staff, and support services.
Centers are meant to be a one-stop place for help with benefits, tutoring, credit transfers, disability rights, and the move from military life to school and jobs.
The Education Department would later report to Congress on results and create a public website with best practices for helping student veterans succeed.
