There are three types of grants under the UB Program:
Regular UB grants, UB Math and Science (UBMS) grants, and Veterans UB (VUB) grants.
This notice announces the deadlines and other information only for VUB grants.
The VUB Program supports projects designed to prepare, motivate, and assist military veterans in the development of academic and other skills necessary for acceptance into and success in a program of postsecondary education.
The President has set a clear goal for our education system:
By 2020, the United States will once again lead the world in college attainment.
The Department views the VUB Program as a critical component in the effort to improve the quality of educational opportunities so that more veterans are well prepared for college and careers.
