H.R.6358 — Veteran Education Empowerment Act
Sponsor: Rep. Frankel [D-FL]
Introduced: 12/02/2025
NASFAA Summary: This bill would reauthorize and update a grant program under Title VIII of the Higher Education Act to help institutions of higher education establish, maintain, improve, and operate Student Veteran Centers. It would authorize the Department of Education to award competitive grants of up to $500,000 over four years to eligible institutions or consortia that enroll a significant number or percentage of student veterans, active-duty service members, or reservists and submit a sustainability plan. Grant funds could be used to operate Student Veteran Centers and provide supportive services such as assistance with admissions, credit transfer, and other services that support student veteran success. The bill would also establish priorities for awarding grants, require reporting on outcomes and best practices, direct the Department to create a best-practices website, and authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2026 and the seven succeeding fiscal years.
