Or. Admin. Code § 274-036-0200 - Veterans Educational Bridge Grant Program - Purpose
(1)
The 2019 Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill 2201 (Chapter 527, Oregon
Laws 2019), establishing a Veteran Educational Bridge Grant Program (Grant
Program) to provide financial assistance to veterans who are unable to complete
a degree program within the expected completion period due to the timing of
course offerings.
(2) The 2023
Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill 2271 (Chapter 303, Oregon Laws 2023)
which expands applicant eligibility for the Veteran Educational Bridge Grant
Program. The maximum grant award remains at $5,000 lifetime but eligibility is
expanded to include additional programs of study or training, veterans who do
not have entitlement to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs educational
benefits, and veterans who have a debt on a student account preventing them
from registering for future terms. Language was also updated to be inclusive of
eligible non-academic programs including apprenticeships, on-the-job training
(OJT), and career schools.
