and may include other appropriate entities.

Examples of these entities are contained in

Part I, Section B(1)(A) of the SGA.

B. The Department recognize that there are

several geographic areas within the country

which contain high concentrations of Indian

youth that are not served by school systems

supported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

partnerships may be eligible to apply for

funding even where included in the

partnership are one or more non-Bureaufunded schools that serve Indian youth and

the involvement of Bureau-funded schools

consists of a collaborative, consultative, or

close advisory relationship within the

partnership in which services are not

necessarily provided directly to the Bureaufunded school’s students, but which results

in measurable benefit to both the partnership

and the Bureau-funded school or schools. For

more information on eligibility see Part I,

Section B(1)(B) of this solicitation.

The Department intend to prescreen all

applications against the aforementioned

eligibility criteria prior to the panelists’

review and will not consider any

applications that do not contain the required

assurances and determining information.

What funding is available?

This SGA offers approximately $625,000 in

FY 95 funds authorized under the School-toWork Opportunities Act. The statute states

that 1⁄2 of 1% of all future appropriations

shall be set aside for STWO Indian Program

Grants.

How many grants are anticipated?

The Departments anticipate awarding:

• Approximately 7 development grants of

$30,000 each; and

• Up to 5 implementation grants ranging in

amount between $75,000 and $100,000.

The final amount of each award will be

based on a number of factors, including the

scope, quality, and comprehensiveness of the

proposed initiative and the size of the

population to be served.

How long is the project period?

The award period for this competition will

be 12 months. However, grants may be

continued for up to five years based on

satisfactory progress and the availability of

federal funds.

Can I apply for both a development and

implementation grant?

Eligible partnerships may apply for either

a development grant, an implementation

grant or both. The rationale is to allow those

partnerships which have been engaged in

planning and development activities to apply

for an implementation grant without

jeopardizing their opportunities for receiving

a development grant. However, partnerships

that intend to apply for consideration under

both the development and implementation

grant competitions must submit separate

applications for each competition. A local

partnership may receive only one (1) grant

under this competition, either a development

grant or an implementation grant.

What are the reporting requirements?

Reporting requirements include quarterly

financial and narrative reports and an annual

report on project accomplishments.

How can I find out more information about

the solicitation?

The National School-to-Work Office in

cooperation with Region IX School-to-Work

staff will be sponsoring a Bidder’s

Conference for parties interested in applying

for School-to-Work Indian Program Grants.

The Bidders Conference will be held on May

23, 1996 at Mesa Community College in

Mesa, Arizona. Partnerships that are

interested in attending need to pre-register

participants with Technical Assistance and

Training Corporation. Information pertaining

to this activity can be found in Part II,

Section F of this solicitation.

What other grant programs have been

implemented under the STWO Act?

The U.S. Department of Labor and

Education are jointly conducting separate

competitions for grants to States that are

prepared to implement statewide School-toWork Opportunities systems, to local

partnerships that are prepared to implement

local School-to-Work Opportunities

initiatives, and to local partnerships that

serve high poverty areas of Urban and Rural

constituencies and that are also prepared to

develop and implement local School-to-Work

Opportunities initiatives. Planning and

development grants have been awarded to all

States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Territories.
