Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance federal funding in Tennessee

Tennessee x 64.028 is a GI Bill join, not a campus ranking

This page pairs CFDA 64.028, POST-9/11 VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE, with Tennessee place of performance. Post-9/11 educational assistance, in program language, pays tuition, housing, and related benefits for eligible veterans and dependents as VA administers the program. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $564,395,376 on 2,727 awards. The extract does not list schools, students, or programs of study. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state's campuses enroll more veterans, and not a claim that 2,727 awards equal 2,727 students.

VA DIC on CFDA 64.110 is a survivor-compensation overlay in Tennessee, not a subset of this education join. Disability compensation and health care use other CFDA numbers and are outside $564,395,376 unless they also carry 64.028. Correlation between this obligation sum and veteran population is not causation. Population figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Tennessee locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $564,395,376 in university endowments.

2,727 awards as benefit rows, not 2,727 named students

Award count on an education-benefit listing often tracks payment instruments, terms, or account rows rather than unique students. Two thousand seven hundred twenty-seven is a row count, not a published student-veteran census. Mean obligation is about $206,965 if $564,395,376 were divided evenly — a mechanical ratio that can mix multi-year accounts with smaller lines. This page will not treat that average as a typical GI Bill award.

Personally identifiable student names are not in these facts. Open Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in Tennessee for the award table as stored. Do not convert 2,727 into a narrative about individual students this packet does not identify. The $564,395,376 total remains a tagged obligation rollup. Recertifications and term payments can add rows without adding unique people.

Education-benefit obligations versus tuition already paid

Benefit programs often obligate and pay on a close schedule, but USAspending's obligation field remains a commitment metric. The $564,395,376 headline is not a proof of tuition checks mailed, not a remaining entitlement balance, and not an outlay table. No fiscal year is attached. A VA education-benefits report that cites a single year is not automatically this join.

The listing title specifies Post-9/11 veterans educational assistance. This extract does not split tuition from housing, and it does not split veterans from dependents. Those cuts would require data beyond dollars, 2,727 awards, CFDA 64.028, and Tennessee. Montgomery GI Bill or other education codes, if present, use different listings. Cardiovascular research on 93.837 is a Tennessee NIH overlay, not a VA education subset.

What the Tennessee 64.028 table omits

The extract has no school list, no completion rate, and no county map. Facts remain $564,395,376, 2,727 awards, CFDA 64.028, and Tennessee. This page will not invent a ranking of Tennessee campuses. DIC on 64.110 remains a separate survivor-compensation join. Mixing the two VA totals would invent a combined veterans figure the packet never computed.

Tennessee federal spending and Tennessee programs place 64.028 among other listings. CFDA 64.028 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of VA spending the packet never computed. Place of performance locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $564,395,376 in the state treasury.

Questions

How much Post-9/11 veterans educational assistance is obligated in Tennessee?

USAspending.gov shows $564,395,376 in obligations for CFDA 64.028 with Tennessee as place of performance, across 2,727 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Tennessee's full higher-education budget. Other VA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 64.028.

Do 2,727 awards mean 2,727 student veterans in Tennessee?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include term payments or recertifications. It is not a student census. The packet does not name students or schools. See the Tennessee 64.028 overlay for how rows are stored.

Is this the same as Tennessee's VA DIC page?

No. DIC is CFDA 64.110, a survivor-compensation listing. This page is CFDA 64.028, Post-9/11 educational assistance. They are different VA overlays. The $564,395,376 total does not include 64.110 dollars. Mixing them would invent a combined veterans figure.

Is $564 million already paid as Tennessee GI Bill benefits?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $564,395,376 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Tuition draws and remaining entitlement are not published in this packet.
