GI Bill–style education assistance tagged to Colorado
CFDA 64.028 is titled Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance. Colorado is the place-of-performance state. $898,603,282 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. One thousand five hundred seventy-six awards is a substantial instrument count for a veterans-education cell. The packet does not name schools, certificate programs, or housing stipends. The join is a two-key filter, not a ranking of veteran-friendly campuses.
The Colorado hub totals every program. The national 64.028 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Veterans State Nursing Home Care (64.015) is a sibling 64-series code used in other state joins in this harvest. Mixing 64.028 with 64.015 would misstate $898,603,282.
One thousand five hundred seventy-six awards against $898,603,282 is a mid-volume VA education file, close in row count to Alabama’s 1,457-award public-housing cell despite unrelated catalogs. Similar row counts across HUD and VA are coincidences. Colorado’s other joins in this harvest—Geosciences, ELC, NEW ERA, health centers—use different CFDA numbers and different means. The about-$570,180 average here is not a typical student-year of tuition and housing.
What CFDA 64.028 records
Post-9/11 veterans educational assistance is a VA education line as titled, not disability compensation, not state nursing-home per diem, and not Department of Education Pell. Packet facts are the obligation total, 1,576 awards, state CO, and CFDA 64.028. No enrollment headcount is included.
Place of performance tagged Colorado can cover a public university, a private school, a training provider, or a statewide VA stamp. Awards coded to neighboring states stay on other 64.028 ties even when students commute across the border.
