The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,144,000 from the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to support higher education institutions that are members of the Ohio Veterans Education Council. The Chancellor of Higher Education is tasked with utilizing these funds for various initiatives, including providing awards to students serving as Military Community Advocates, offering grants to enhance military and veterans offices at educational institutions, and sponsoring staff attendance at relevant leadership institutes.

Specifically, the bill allocates up to $213,750 each fiscal year for student awards, $255,000 for grants to support private philanthropy growth, and $91,800 for staff sponsorships. Additionally, the remaining funds will be used for administrative costs, creating a website to connect veterans with educational programs, managing membership and Ohio Purple Star status, and facilitating information sharing. The bill emphasizes collaboration with the National Veterans Leadership Foundation to achieve these objectives.
