Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a new application package for grants under the Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) Program. The previous package was part of the regular Upward Bound Program (UB) (OMB No. 1840-0550) package. The regular UB program provides federal grants for three types of projects: regular UB, VUM, and Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS). However, each project has a separate collection; therefore we are requesting a new application package. The Department is requesting a new application because of the implementation of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) revisions to the Higher Education Act (HEA), the authorizing statute for the program. This application will be used to award new grants and collect data under the VUB program. The VUB program provides grants to institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and organizations, community-based organization with experience in serving disadvantaged youth, combinations of such institutions, agencies and organizations, and secondary schools. The VUB program provides grants to projects designed to prepare, motivate and assist military veterans in the development of academic and other requisite skills necessary for acceptance and success in a program of postsecondary education.
