YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a federal competitive grant, meaning selection is rigorous and awarded through a formal review process.

Exact win rates are not published, but federal NIFA competitive grants are selective. Projects with a clear, evidence-backed plan to benefit veteran farmers will be strongest.
