    **OVERVIEW OF THE REHABILITATION TRAINING PROGRAM**

Established in 1954, the Rehabilitation Training Program is one of the
oldest existing federal training grant assistance programs. The program
has substantially revised its emphasis and the scope of its coverage
over the years in response to developments affecting the delivery of
quality rehabilitation services.

The Rehabilitation Training Program\'s purpose is to:

a\. Increase the supply of qualified personnel available for employment
in the public rehabilitation program, which includes the state-federal
program of vocational rehabilitation, federally funded independent
living centers, and providers of services to state agencies and
independent living centers and programs.

b\. Maintain and upgrade basic skills and knowledge of personnel
employed in the public rehabilitation program.

Rehabilitation training grants are awarded to ensure that skilled
workers are available to provide the broad scope of services required by
clients of the state-federal programs of vocational rehabilitation,
supported employment, and independent living. Such services are provided
by state vocational rehabilitation agencies and public and private
nonprofit organizations through service arrangements with state
vocational rehabilitation agencies.

Current grant programs under the Rehabilitation Training Program include
the following:

**1. Rehabilitation Long-Term Training**

This program provides funds primarily to academic institutions in areas
of personnel shortages related to the public rehabilitation program.
Funded projects must provide training leading to an academic degree or
academic certificate (including residency programs in rehabilitation
medicine). The institutions receiving funds under this program are
required to use a minimum of 75 percent of the grant money for
scholarships to students. Students who receive these scholarships are
required to "pay back" two years of service in the public rehabilitation
program for each academic year of support.

**2. State Vocational Rehabilitation Unit In-service Training**

This program is designed to support special projects for training state
vocational rehabilitation agency personnel in program areas essential to
the effective management of the agency\'s programs of vocational
rehabilitation, supported employment, and independent living services.
Training may also address skill areas that will enable personnel to
improve their ability to provide rehabilitation services to individuals
with severe disabilities. As these grants support "internal" training of
state agencies, they are not included in this catalog.

**3. Rehabilitation Continuing Education Programs**

This program supports training centers that serve a federal region and
provide a broad integrated sequence of training activities that focus on
meeting recurrent and common training needs of employed rehabilitation
personnel. Rehabilitation Continuing Education Programs (RCEPs) provide
training for newly employed and experienced state agency staff, and
develop training programs for staff of community rehabilitation programs
that serve clients of the public rehabilitation program. The Technical
Assistance and Continuing Education (TACE) grants are funded under this
program.

**4. Rehabilitation Short-Term Training**

This program supports special seminars, institutes, workshops, and other
short-term courses in technical matters relating to the delivery of
vocational, medical, social, and psychological rehabilitation services.
Projects under this program are announced in the *Federal Register* in
areas of special national or regional significance to the delivery of
rehabilitation services. Projects funded under this category can be
found in the "Special Programs" section of this catalog.

**5. Training of Interpreters for Deaf Individuals**

The Training of Interpreters for Deaf Individuals Program is designed to
assist in providing a sufficient number of skilled interpreters to meet
the needs of deaf individuals. Individuals are trained in public and
private agencies, schools and other institutions to become interpreters
and to ensure the maintenance of skills necessary to provide skilled
manual and/or oral interpreting.

The grants in this catalog have been arranged by training area (e.g.,
Long-Term Training, Special Programs). Within the area of Long-Term
Training, grants are arranged by specialty field (e.g., Rehabilitation
Counseling, Rehabilitation Technology). Within a given specialty field,
grants are listed according to grant number.

#### SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS SEEKING SCHOLARSHIPS

RSA long- term training grants provide funding to colleges and
universities to help them provide scholarships to students interested in
pursuing careers in rehabilitation. Students interested in one of these
scholarships should apply directly to the college or university programs
identified in the Long-Term Training Projects chapter of this catalog.
Only long-term training grants provide scholarships. You should contact
the project director listed in the description. The Rehabilitation
Services Administration (RSA) neither provides application forms nor
becomes involved in the selection of recipients of the scholarships.

Students who receive scholarships under this program are required to
work (at full pay) within the public rehabilitation program after
graduation. Locations include state vocational rehabilitation agencies
or agencies or organizations that have service arrangements with state
vocational rehabilitation agencies or federally funded centers for
independent living. The student is expected to work two years in such
settings for every year of full-time scholarship support. Although this
is the primary condition a student must meet, there are also other
conditions. Scholarship terms and agreements should be discussed with
the college or university prior to applying for a scholarship.

Students interested in seeking RSA scholarships should contact the
director of the project in which they are interested.

#####  LONG-TERM TRAINING PROJECTS

##### Rehabilitation Counseling -- Masters Program

These grants help colleges and universities provide scholarships to
students interested in pursuing careers in rehabilitation counseling.
The rehabilitation counselor assists people with physical, emotional or
mental disabilities to become independent or remain self-sufficient
employed citizens. This might include interviewing, individual
assessment, evaluation of medical and psychological reports, vocational
guidance, job placement services, and counseling and guidance for
personal adjustment. The rehabilitation counselor also works with
individuals and organizations to address and eliminate environmental and
social barriers for people with disabilities.
