Transparency for Student Veterans Act of 2023
The Transparency for Student Veterans Act of 2023 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to collect and publicly report detailed data about educational institutions serving veterans using VA benefits. It mandates the VA to publish specific metrics, including veteran re-enrollment rates, completion rates broken down by degree type (associate, bachelor’s, postbaccalaureate), certificate types, average program duration, and average post-graduation salaries. This information will be made available through a dedicated online database on the VA’s website. The bill directly affects student veterans and their families, providing them with transparent, comparable data to make informed decisions about educational institutions.
