4 Due to the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), most federal veterans education benefits are no longer entered on students' records, effective fall 2009.  As a result, beginning in 2009-10 the federal gift aid total excludes some veterans benefits that were reported in previous years, while including new Post-9-11 benefit programs which increased in use between 2009-10 and 2010-11.  In addition, significant federal gift aid for graduate students is funded from short-term sponsored research funds from federal agencies.  Those resources vary considerably from one year to the next.
