Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education Centers of Excellence for Veteran Student Success program (CFDA 84.116G) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). Its central aim is to help institutions of higher education build and demonstrate "model" campus programs that improve outcomes for veteran students. The program is built around the idea that veteran student success is not driven by academics alone, so the Department emphasizes coordinated, campus-wide services that respond to the academic, financial, physical, and social needs veterans may face while enrolled.
In practical terms, the grant is meant to support colleges and universities in organizing and strengthening the full network of supports that veterans rely on, rather than leaving services scattered across offices. A competitive applicant would be expected to show how it will pull together resources such as advising, tutoring, disability and accessibility services, mental and physical health supports, benefits guidance, financial aid counseling, and community-building efforts so veteran students can navigate college more smoothly. The "centers of excellence" framing signals that the Department wanted campuses not only to provide services, but to develop approaches that could serve as examples for other institutions looking to improve veteran retention, persistence, and completion.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions. The notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to applying because schools do not need to commit a required institutional match as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted June 30, 2010, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 30, 2010. The total estimated funding listed is $5,940,000, with an expected 19 awards, which implies a moderately competitive program intended to seed a cohort of campuses rather than fund only a small handful of projects.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice is explicit that applicants could not email a copy of the grant application; submission had to occur through the official electronic system where data entries are saved directly into a database. As with many Department of Education discretionary grant competitions, the synopsis stresses that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document and is where applicants would find the full requirements, including detailed eligibility language, pre-application and application instructions, required forms and narratives, performance measures, priorities, and other submission rules.
For reference and support, the announcement provides technical and program contacts.
