1. (a) The location for obtaining grant applications and the specific forms that will be required;
2. (b) The date, time, and place for submitting completed grant applications;
3. (c) The total amount and type of funds available and the maximum amount available to a single applicant;
4. (d) Information regarding eligibility and the scoring process;
5. (e) Any timeframes and manner for payments under the grant; and

6. (f) Other information necessary for the VEPFS grant application process, as determined by VA, including contact information for the VA office that will oversee the VEPFS grant.
