Description

Approximately 20 successful applicants will receive awards of $1,186,900. Through this announcement, the Job Corps Scholars Program will serve Job Corps eligible youth enrolled at selected community colleges, HBCUs and TCCUs. For students designated by the grantees as “Job Corps Scholars,” these educational institutions will provide free tuition for their first year in the Job Corps Scholars program, career technical training, and intensive personal and career counseling services to support and facilitate completion of the program. In addition, employment counseling services will be provided, including follow-up employment services. These projects will serve low income young adults between the ages of 16 to 24 who have at least one characteristic that is a barrier to education and employment listed in the FOA.

Catch-all / unrestricted eligibility mark · FOA-ETA-20-03

Grants.gov marks Job Corps Scholars Program with a catch-all / unrestricted eligibility code (Others (see official listing text)). Read the official announcement text for the real applicant filter — the code alone is not a door list. The extract does not mark applicant cost-sharing as required. Instrument: Grant. Funding-activity code maps to Employment, Labor and Training (ELT). This eligibility-code string dominates the Employment and Training Administration book (353 peers, 85% of 413).
