national system of community and
technical colleges. This amendment will
make changes to the August 8 document
by removing the requirement that 50%
of the grant funds must be spent on
tuition in Section III Eligibility
Information and Other Grant
Specifications; updating the data
required in the one- to three-page
summary of projected outcomes in
Section IV Application and Submission
Information; replacing outcomes
associated with the 50% requirement
with new outcomes and clarifying and
correcting the total number of points the

the solicitation is hereby amended with
the following:
1. On page 44574, extend the closing
date of this Solicitation to October 31,

In all applications, at least 50 percent of
the proposed budget must be for tuition and
related training costs for a substantive
number of students enrolled in the grant
training program. Related training costs
include, but are not limited to, books,
supplies, tools, and uniforms. Grantees are
strongly encouraged to leverage other
resources to cover the tuition costs for the
students trained with grant funds to expand
the number of individuals trained with the
grant. Possible sources of leveraged resources
for tuition include, but are not limited to,
Pell Grants, student loans, and employer
tuition reimbursement. Grantees may charge
tuition and related training costs to students
enrolled in the training program whose
tuition is not covered by the grant; however,
the leveraging of resources described above is
strongly encouraged. Grantees must track and
report performance outcomes on any
individuals trained using grant dollars, either
in whole or in part. Where grant dollars are
combined with other leveraged resources to
cover tuition for an individual being trained,
that individual must be tracked for purposes
of performance as well.
3. Additional references to the 50%
requirement are deleted on: Page 44583
column 1 (Section IV.A), Page 44586
column 1 (Section V.A.3. Effective,
Innovative Training and Capacity
Building Strategies)
4. On page 44583, middle column,
Section IV.A, in the one- to three-page
listing of all projected outcomes list,
delete:
Added to this section is the following
text:
• The number of individuals who will
participate in training activities during the
life of the grant. Participation in training
activities includes individuals whose
training activity is supported in whole or in
part by direct training costs under the grant.
This projection also includes individuals
participating in the training activity who
benefit from the products, services, and
activities funded by the grant for capacity
building, but whose training activity is not
funded by the grant.
• The number of individuals who will
complete training activities during the life of
the grant regardless of the source of the funds
paying for the training activities.
• The number of individuals to participate
in training activities during the life of the
grant whose participation is supported by the
grant either through direct training costs or
through tuition remission, scholarship, or
other direct payment by the grant.
Applicants should note that they must
include projections for numbers of students
to be enrolled in and expected to complete
training during the life of the grant. If
awarded a grant, applicants MUST be able to
track and report to ETA their success at
meeting these projections on a quarterly basis
regardless of whether the grant pays for the
direct training of these individuals. This
requirement is considered a condition of
grant award.
A component of all grants must be direct
training costs, which include, but are not
limited to: Faculty costs, including salaries
and fringe benefits; in-house training staff;
support staff costs such as lab or teaching
assistants; classroom space, including
laboratories, mock-ups or other facilities used
for training purposes; and books, materials,
and supplies used in the training course,
including specialized equipment used in the
training course. Grantees are strongly
encouraged to leverage other resources to
cover the tuition costs for the students
trained under the grant. Possible sources of
leveraged resources for tuition include, but
are not limited to, Pell Grants; Workforce
Investment Act resources, including
Individual Training Accounts; and employer
tuition reimbursement. Applicants must also
describe how tuition for students
participating in the program will be covered,
including tuition charged to students,
funding made available through the
workforce investment system, business paid
training, or other sources.
For reference, direct training costs are the
costs associated with the actual provision of
a training course as opposed to the capacity
building costs associated with the
development of training capabilities or
curriculums. Direct training costs do NOT
include costs that support the college in
general, such as fees to support student
activities, the library, gym or recreation
center, etc., which may be covered through
some other mechanism, such as student fees.
Indirect training costs may include the
applicable share of the Institution’s indirect
costs (overhead) and library or other student
activity fees associated with the operation of
the Institution. Both direct and indirect
training costs must be allowable costs under
the applicable OMB circular. All direct and
indirect training costs should be linked to a
specific course or curriculum as specified in
the proposal or the statement of work.
