Modernizing the Veterans On-Campus Experience Act of 2024
This bill sets new requirements for veterans' educational counseling services provided on college campuses. It requires VA counselors to hold at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and allows them to serve multiple institutions. Counselors are also limited to advising no more than 25 veterans at any single session. These changes directly affect veterans using on-campus counseling and VA staff delivering those services. The policy modifies how VA counselors operate on campuses to standardize qualifications and service capacity.
