The program will provide approximately $8.91 million in discretionary grants, with individual awards ranging from $650,000 to $750,000 for a duration of up to 36 months. The core requirement is establishing Centers of Excellence to coordinate comprehensive services addressing the academic, financial, physical, and social needs of veteran students.

The priorities of the grant include enhancing the social and emotional development of students, promoting equitable access to educational resources, and supporting programs aimed at increasing access and completion rates for underserved student populations.
