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.
Colorado as the geography key
Colorado is USAspending state code CO. $898,603,282 is not Colorado’s higher-education appropriation and is not every federal dollar that reaches veterans in the state. The packet has no metro table of Front Range campuses.
Statewide Colorado federal spending is the parent. CFDA 64.028 is one VA line. Readers comparing education benefits with Geosciences research, ELC laboratory capacity, NEW ERA rural energy, or health centers in Colorado should keep those CFDA numbers on separate pages.
A mean near $570,180
Average obligation is about $570,180 ($898,603,282 ÷ 1,576). That figure can hide a mix of large institutional awards and smaller instruments. It is not a typical student’s annual benefit and not a median. Treat 1,576 as award records in the aggregate.
Net obligations can include adjustments when enrollments change. This page reports $898,603,282 as given. Obligations are not outlays.
What the Colorado–64.028 pair is not
A shared state tag does not mean Colorado selected these awards, and it does not mean GI Bill outlays equal $898,603,282. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

GI Bill overlay among Colorado’s crowded join set
Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in Colorado is the overlay for CFDA 64.028 inside state CO. One thousand five hundred seventy-six awards and $898,603,282 sit among several other Colorado joins in this harvest: Geosciences, ELC, NEW ERA, and health centers. Each has its own catalog number. This education cell is not nursing-home care (64.015), which appears as Oklahoma and Missouri joins in this slice. Mixing 64.028 with 64.015 would misstate $898,603,282.
Colorado programs is the CFDA index. The national 64.028 hub drops the Colorado filter. School names, certificate programs, and housing stipends are outside the facts. Treat 1,576 as award records, not as a headcount of student-veterans, and treat about $570,180 as a mean, not a typical academic-year benefit. Obligations are not outlays. Place of performance tagged Colorado is not a campus map of the Front Range.
