SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: Public Law 115-48 Section 111, and Title 38 U.S.C. 3320.
    Title: Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, VAF 22-10203.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0878.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Section 111 of Public Law 115-48 added new Section 3320 
to title 38, U.S.C. 3320 authorizes VA to administer the Edith Nourse 
Rogers STEM Scholarship Program. Under the program, VA provides up to 9 
months or $30,000 of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to certain eligible 
individuals selected by the Secretary of VA. To apply for and receive 
the scholarship, an individual must complete the application, VA Form 
22-10203. VA continues to require approval of this information 
collection so students can continue to apply, and for VA to continue to 
assess how to prioritize the awarding of the Scholarship, based on the 
information collected on the form. This collection renewal resulted in 
a decrease in burden hours due to a significant decrease in the initial 
number of scholarship applicants that submitted an application for the 
program during the periods from 2020 and 2021.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at 88 FR 9966 on February 15, 2023, page(s) 
9966-9967.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,396 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Time Per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16,752.

    By direction of the Secretary.
