Grant Extension for adult basic education


The 2011-2012 Grant Extension Process will open on Monday, April 11 and close Wednesday, May 11, 2011. The application Must Be Completed by Midnight May 11, 2011.

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, Title II of which authorizes the federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), expired seven years ago. Neither WIA nor AEFLA has been reauthorized by Congress. We negotiated a one-year extension of our state plan for adult education with the U.S. Department of Education in order to be able to receive and distribute federal adult education funds. As part of that process, we are authorized to extend existing Adult Basic Education (ABE) grants for another year, too.

There will be no new RFP (Request for Proposals); rather, all currently approved Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs are eligible for a one-year continuation of their current grant awards.

On April 11, 2011, the Online Grant Management System (OGMS) will be available to current providers to request an extension for the 2011-2012 Program Year. The Master Application consists of six sections for narrative questions, the standard set of budget narrative questions, and program assurances. Please Note: the narrative responses MUST address each of your currently approved ABE grant awards that you want to continue operating for the coming year. You will complete a separate budget application, however, for each separate grant award.

Questions and Technical Assistance:

Applicants with questions or who require technical assistance with the On-Line Grant Management System (OGMS) may contact Christy Lowder at clowder@sbctc.edu or 360-704-4323.
