Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in South Carolina

South Carolina x 64.028 is a GI Bill join, not an enrollment census

This page pairs CFDA 64.028, POST-9/11 VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE, with South Carolina place of performance. The listing covers Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance, not disability compensation and not other VA education chapters if they use different CFDA numbers. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $499,025,404 on 1,332 awards. The extract does not list schools, veterans, or credit hours. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state enrolls more veterans, and not a claim that 1,332 awards equal 1,332 students.

Other VA listings — compensation, pension, or different education codes — sit outside $499,025,404 unless they also carry 64.028. Mixing GI Bill with compensation would invent a combined veterans figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and veteran population is not causation. Population figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as South Carolina locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $499,025,404 in student accounts.

1,332 awards behind $499.0 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible school-level or periodic payment rows. It is not a census of veterans, schools, or credit hours. Mean obligation is about $374,644 if $499,025,404 were divided evenly across 1,332 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical tuition payment, and not a published per-veteran amount. The packet has no public-versus-private school split inside 64.028.

One thousand three hundred thirty-two lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the South Carolina 64.028 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent school names. Open Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in South Carolina for the stored table. Do not convert 1,332 into a map of South Carolina campuses. The $499,025,404 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Post-9/11 GI Bill funding is obligated in South Carolina?

USAspending.gov shows $499,025,404 in obligations for CFDA 64.028 with South Carolina as place of performance, across 1,332 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not South Carolina's full veterans or higher-education budget. Other VA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 64.028.

Do 1,332 awards mean 1,332 South Carolina student veterans?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include school-level or periodic payment rows. It is not a student, school, or credit-hour census. The packet does not name schools. See the South Carolina 64.028 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this South Carolina's entire federal veterans funding?

No. The join is CFDA 64.028, Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance, crossed with South Carolina place of performance. Compensation, pension, and other education chapters use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $499,025,404 unless the award also carries 64.028.

Is $499 million already paid as South Carolina tuition?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $499,025,404 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Term draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
