The Public Broadcasting programs target improving public television and increasing PBC channels. Community colleges partnering with PBC may be able to provide distance learning in conjunction with PBC networks. Regulations are being revised for FY98. The 1998 cycle will emphasize model programs using creative partnerships. Approximately 900 applications were received last year and 55 projects were funded.
Technical assistance is available via phone or e-mail.
Guidelines will be available in January with a March deadline. Community Colleges are encouraged to apply. This program was not funded in FY 97 and will not be funded in FY 98. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact their state economic development representative or the regional contacts listed on the EDA Website. Applications are first reviewed in a pre-proposal process, prior to submittal of comprehensive proposals.
