Title of Collection: National Center for
College Students with Disabilities
(NCCSD) Database of Disability Services
and Activities in Higher Education.
OMB Control Number: 1840–0841.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,916.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 17,748.
Abstract: The National Center for
College Students with Disabilities
(NCCSD) at the University of Minnesota
and originated by the Association on
Higher Education and Disability
(AHEAD) is authorized by Congress in
the Higher Education Opportunity Act
of 2008 (777.4) and was established in
2016. The NCCSD College Disability
Resource Database is designed to
address a gap in information about
services and accessibility for college
students with disabilities, who make up
19.5% of the undergraduate population.
Existing general information about
colleges is available in the Department
of Education’s online College Navigator
and College Affordability and
Transparency Center, but the only
information about students with
disabilities in these databases is the
percentage of students registered with
campus disability services offices. At
this time, this is the only database that
provide systematic collection of
information about campus-level
disability-related services, access, and
activities at colleges and universities in
the United States. The NCCSD survey
asks all U.S. campuses to provide basic
information about disability services,
accessibility of campus, and disabilityrelated activities that may affect
inclusion and the campus climate. The
data is available to the public in an
accessible and searchable database to
help prospective college students and
their families make informed decisions
during the college search process.
Because the database is public,
researchers and policymakers are able to
utilize the data to gather information
about disability and higher education in
systematic ways.
The Department is requesting a
revision of the survey for the following
reasons: to add non-degree-granting
institutions of higher education to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
this program is to encourage institutions
of higher education (IHEs) to develop
PO 00000

model programs to support veteran
student success in postsecondary
education by coordinating services to
address the academic, financial,
physical, and social needs of veteran
students.
Background: In 2019–2020, 3.7
percent of undergraduate students were
veterans, with 28 percent of veterans
attending public four-year colleges, 12
percent attending private four-year
colleges, 34 percent attending public
two-year colleges, and 13 percent
attending for-profit institutions.1
Unfortunately, and for various reasons,
veterans are less likely to complete their
postsecondary education than nonveterans. In 2019–20, 48 percent of
veterans earned a postsecondary
credential after six years, as compared
to 56 percent of non-veterans. Those
attending four-year institutions are
much less likely to earn bachelor’s
degrees than non-veterans, with 33
percent of veterans doing so as
compared to 59 percent of non-veterans,
and those attending two-year
institutions are less likely than nonveterans to earn associate degrees—13
percent as compared to 17 percent.2
According to a 2019 research report,
student veterans are significantly
underrepresented at colleges and
universities with the highest graduation
rates, despite receiving significant
Federal financial assistance for
postsecondary education through the GI
Bill, indicating barriers in college degree
attainment. The report found that only
10 percent of GI Bill recipients attended
institutions with six-year graduation
rates above 70 percent, compared to 21
percent of the overall student
population, and 65 percent of GI Bill
recipients enrolled in institutions with
six-year graduation rates below 50
percent.3
Student veterans often face unique
challenges that can affect their academic
success, including transitioning back to
civilian life after a deployment,
addressing service- connected
disabilities, and returning to school at
an older age. Veterans may also be
juggling school and off-campus
employment or experiencing financial
