Tableau Student Data Challenge- Veteran Education Benefits

Abstract

This proposal clearly lays out a plan for creation and implementation of a Tableau dashboard that will allow veterans to easily and efficiently identify higher education institutions that will be a good fit and match for their individual interests and experience. Additionally, we analyze the business case, financial impacts and risks, research considerations, technical components, and ethical considerations of this proposal. The value proposition of this project is not in monetary or business process improvements, but rather it is a purely ethical justification. We aim to directly improve the lives of veterans, their families, their communities, and others by providing a tool that will allow them to make informed decisions about how and where to use their GI Bill benefits.
