A team led by Virginia State University (VSU) and including Northern Virginia Community College and Brightpoint Community College received a 30-month, $250,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Fund for Excellence and Innovation. The team’s proposed project has several goals: 1. Increase AI instruction for high-school students in dual-enrollment courses.
2. Increase AI instruction for community college students who are on track to transfer to a four-year institution. 3.
Create AI oriented micro-credential programs, which will offer a series of certificates or credentials that build on each other to help students advance in their professional careers. 4. Develop AI focused open education resources for use by students and educators at other higher education institutions.
“I’m thrilled to see this partnership of Virginia institutions continuing to lead the way in application of artificial intelligence to innovate and improve student outcomes,” said Scott Fleming, SCHEV director. “The work by the VSU-led team will help other Virginia higher ed institutions incorporate AI into their efforts to build Virginia’s workforce of tomorrow.
” “Virginia State University is proud to receive this grant, which will allow us to invest in the future of AI education. This funding underscores our commitment to advancing artificial intelligence research and instruction, ensuring that VSU remains at the forefront of transformative education and workforce development,” said Makola M. Abdullah, VSU president.
The Fund for Excellence and Innovation was established by the General Assembly in 2016 to stimulate collaboration among public school divisions, community colleges and public universities; expand affordable education; and reduce costs. In 2024, SCHEV began using the fund to expand AI instruction and address issues identified in Governor Youngkin’s Executive Directive Number 5 and subsequent Executive Order Number 30.

A compliance roadmap published August 19 lays out what colleges and universities have to certify before the 2026-2027 academic year — and two of the items get almost no attention. FAR 52.222-90 must be flowed into existing contracts by December 31, 2026. And under EO 14282, certification of Section 117 foreign gift compliance is now expressly material to False Claims Act liability and to receiving federal grant funds at all. Here is the full stack, the dates, and what a defensible file looks like.
Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
