Funds are divided between Partnership Grants and State Grants. Partnership projects must serve entire grades of students and begin no later than seventh grade. The projects are encouraged to provide both early college preparation and awareness activities and scholarships for participating students. Partnership grant recipients must pay at least 20 percent of the total project costs each year, and must provide at least 50 percent of the total project cost over the course of the grant in cash or in-kind. State Grant recipients must provide at least 50 percent of the total project cost each year, in cash or in-kind.
All states are eligible to apply for state grants.
Both states and partnerships are required to coordinate their efforts with eligible entities and related programs. Subscribe thinkcoll your first name your last name.
