The Government Results and Opportunity Trust (GRO) program achieved a 94 percent completion rate across 224 distinct workforce training programs at 19 higher education institutions statewide, backed by a $20 million investment in Fiscal Year 2025. The 6,249 enrolled students pursued training in pharmacy technology, welding, HVAC, plumbing, commercial driving, phlebotomy, and other skilled trades.
Central New Mexico Community College trained the most students with 2,121 enrolled, followed by San Juan College with 643. The average age of participating students was 35, signaling strong interest among working-age adults seeking career advancement or transition opportunities.
“These results make it clear that New Mexicans are eager for flexible, accessible pathways to high-demand careers and these efforts are meeting their needs,” said **Higher Education Secretary Stephanie M. Rodriguez**. “Higher education is a key ingredient in broadening New Mexico’s economy, and consistent year-over-year enrollment increases indicate that more New Mexicans are responding to our efforts to expand these opportunities.
” The GRO program was established in 2023 by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and the New Mexico Legislature to support workforce training throughout the state. The three-year, $60 million initiative supports training and apprenticeship programs at universities, branch community colleges and independent community colleges throughout New Mexico.
To qualify for GRO funding, programs must target at least one of the nearly two-dozen high-need workforce areas identified jointly by the New Mexico Higher Education Department and the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. The second $20 million installment has already been disbursed for Fiscal Year 2026 programs, which are currently underway.
The final $20 million will support expanded programming in Fiscal Year 2027, with goals of increasing access and further aligning programs with workforce needs and local communities.

Federal 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.

Read articleNSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program — the CAREER award — has a July 22, 2026 deadline, a $400,000 floor, a five-year runway, and roughly 500 awards a year across every directorate. It is the most prestigious grant a pre-tenure scientist can win, and the one most often lost on the integration requirement rather than the research. Here is what the award actually funds, who is eligible, and how to build a proposal that treats research and education as one program instead of two.
