Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 20 03
The Job Corps Scholars Program (FOA ETA 20-03) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (CFDA 17.287) designed to expand education and workforce training options for Job Corps-eligible young people. The program is structured to fund partnerships centered in selected community colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), with the goal of helping participants earn credentials, build job-ready technical skills, and successfully transition into employment.
Funding is expected to be awarded to about 20 grantees, with an award ceiling of $1,186,900 per grant. Grantees will use these funds to operate a "Job Corps Scholars" model on participating campuses. A key feature is that students identified by the grantee as Job Corps Scholars must receive free tuition for their first year in the program. Alongside the tuition benefit, the participating institutions are expected to deliver career and technical education and training and provide intensive supports that address both academic persistence and career readiness.
The service approach emphasizes wraparound counseling and follow-up. In addition to career technical training, the projects must include intensive personal counseling and career counseling intended to reduce barriers that commonly prevent completion. Employment counseling is also required, and it extends beyond initial job placement by including follow-up employment services, which typically means continued check-ins and support after the participant starts working to improve retention and longer-term outcomes.
The target population is low-income young adults ages 16 to 24 who are eligible for Job Corps and who also have at least one barrier to education and employment as specified in the funding opportunity announcement. While the specific barrier list is contained in the FOA, the overall intent is to prioritize young people who face documented challenges that make it harder to enroll, persist in education, or secure stable work without structured support.
In terms of logistics, the opportunity was created on October 23, 2019, and the original application deadline was January 8, 2020. Applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details provided in the FOA's eligibility section, indicating that prospective applicants needed to consult the full announcement to confirm they meet the specific requirements for institutions and/or partnerships.Apply for FOA ETA 20 03
