How To Apply

There are two application processes for this program -- one for eligibility and one for grant funding.

1. You must be designated an eligible institution before applying for funding under this program. The FY 2009 application to request designation as an eligible institution and to request a waiver of the non-federal cost share requirement is available.

2. The grant funding application should be used for reference only as the eligibility verification process has not yet completed. Below is the "Application Instructions" document that was published on Grants.gov for the FY 2008 competition. All of the forms required to complete this package may not be available in this document. Some of the forms may be found in the forms library.

  • FY 2008 Application (archived): MS Word (394K) | PDF (385K)
