Title: Readjustment Counseling Service Scholarship Program 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its regulations by adding new regulations that would govern scholarship programs to certain health care professionals.  This rulemaking would implement the mandates of the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019 by establishing the Readjustment Counseling Service Scholarship Program (RCSSP).  The RCSSP would provide educational assistance to individuals who pursue a graduate degree in psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, or mental health counseling that would meet the education requirements for appointment as a health care professional in one of those fields in VA Vet Centers.
