Table of Contents
The Department of Education is proposing a rule that would allow 36 existing grant recipients to continue their career and technical education programs for an additional year. These grants, part of the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP), were originally awarded for up to five years starting in 2021.
Why it matters: This is an administrative move intended to maintain continuity of services for tribal education programs and avoid the need for a new grant competition next year.
Who it affects
- 36 Native American tribal organizations and colleges currently receiving NACTEP grants
