Summary

Use the grant money like this. At least 82.5% must go to awards and contracts to local providers and to run certain program services, and no more than 20% of that 82.5% can be used for those program services. Up to 12.5% may be used for state leadership work. Up to 5% of the grant, or $85,000 (whichever is bigger), may be used for the agency’s administrative costs. To get the grant, the agency must provide non‑Federal matching funds. Agencies serving outlying areas must match 12% of total adult education spending (the Secretary can lower that). State agencies must match 25% of total adult education spending. The match can be cash or fairly valued in‑kind contributions and must be non‑Federal funds used for adult education consistent with the program.
