All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance

What the 64.124–Veterans join is

CFDA 64.124 and the Department of Veterans Affairs (agency 036) meet in one program-agency cell. $462,282,420 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not an outlay register, not a GI Bill enrollment file, and not a count of campuses. ALL-VOLUNTEER FORCE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE is the Catalog title; this packet does not split $462,282,420 among schools or name veterans.

A 39,629-row educational-assistance cell invites a per-student story. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation with tuition or recruiting headlines is not causation. The join is a CFDA code plus an awarding agency.
