Who can apply

Mid-career & senior, Practitioner, Community organisation

Eligibility

Aimed at small businesses; veteran-owned status must be certified through SBA's VetCert programme, not by VA itself. A university cannot certify as a VOSB, so an academic team's route is as a subcontractor or partner to a certified firm. VA Small Business Liaisons assist with locating area-specific opportunities.
