Grants to Help Farmworker Families Graduate
The High School Equivalency Program (HEP) will fund projects that help migratory or seasonal farmworkers, and their immediate family members, obtain the equivalent of a secondary school diploma and then gain improved employment, enter military service, or be placed in an institution of higher education or other postsecondary training, including Registered Apprenticeships.
Grants Offer $180K to $550K Per Year
Applicants can receive between $180,000 and $550,000 for a single 12-month budget period to run HEP projects. Complete proposals must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern time on June 12, 2026.
Who Can Apply: Colleges and Nonprofits
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (IHEs) or private nonprofit organizations. Private nonprofit applicants (other than IHEs) must plan their HEP project in cooperation with an IHE and propose to operate some aspects of the project using that IHE's facilities.
