Government Grants for Education & Training
Education and training organizations access funding from the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Labor (workforce and apprenticeship), and state education agencies. Schools, colleges, edtech companies, and training providers can all qualify depending on the program.
Key education funders
The Department of Education funds K-12, higher education, and special populations, largely through formula grants to states plus discretionary programs. The Department of Labor funds workforce development, apprenticeships, and reskilling. Many dollars pass through states to local districts and providers.
Qualifying
Eligibility depends on the program — some are limited to accredited institutions or states, others fund nonprofits and companies delivering training. Federal awards require SAM.gov registration. Demonstrated outcomes and evidence-based approaches score well.
