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.
