64.028 is not Montgomery GI Bill in Arizona

Montgomery GI Bill and other VA education catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing those series into $694,766,329 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Arizona, CFDA 64.028, $694,766,329, 433 awards. School names, enrollment counts, and housing-allowance rates are unpublished.

The catalog title names Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance, not a ranking of colleges. Dividing $694,766,329 by 433 yields about $1.60 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 433 is not a student or campus census.

Arizona geography on the Post-9/11 tag

AZ is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, or Colorado stay outside $694,766,329 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $694.77 million into a campus map.

Arizona federal spending is the all-program parent. 64.028 is one row on Arizona programs. $694.77 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in Arizona for the filtered table, CFDA 64.028 for the catalog without a Arizona filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $694,766,329.

Reading 433 awards under $694.77 million

$694,766,329 ÷ 433 is about $1.60 million per award. That average is an education-benefit scale, not a per-student sticker price, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 433 as a record count, not as 433 students.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 433 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $694,766,329 without changing the join key of 64.028 and AZ. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $694,766,329 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Post-9/11 GI Bill plus Arizona. Do not treat $694,766,329 as an outlay series.

What the 64.028–Arizona pair does not prove

Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $694,766,329 on 433 awards for Post-9/11 GI Bill in Arizona.
