This scholarship program helps cover the cost of attendance for eligible, credential aligned programs in Workforce Continuing Education. Under the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER Fund), the U.S. Department of Education awards grants to Governors to provide local educational agencies (LEAs), institutions of higher education (IHEs), and other education-related entities with emergency assistance due to COVID-19.
Under the “Certification and Agreement for Funding under the Education Stabilization Fund Program Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund” (CFDA Numbers: 84. 425C), the Governor of NC established the Workforce Resilience Grant for eligible NC Community College students.
At a minimum, eligible students applying for this scholarship must: • Be able to attest they are a resident of North Carolina, employed in North Carolina, or intend to be employed in North Carolina. The Residency Determination Service (RDS) process is not required. • Be enrolling in Workforce Continuing Education (WCE) pathways/courses leading to an NC Workforce Credential identified as either Essential or Career level.
These pathways may consist of a single WCE course or a series of courses. Here is the link to this list: https://nccareers. org/credentials.
Scholarship Award Requirements: The intent of these funds is to remove access barriers to high-quality, in-demand, sustaining- wage careers for North Carolinians. • Each college will determine grant award amounts based on student needs, local industry needs, number of eligible students, and cost of the course/pathway, up to either $750 per course or the total cost of the course fee(s) if the fee(s) exceeds $750.
• Funds may be used to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, credentialing tests, transportation, childcare, and any other components of the total cost of attendance for students. • Funds may only support instruction provided directly by NC Community Colleges and may not be used to support students pursuing courses provided by third-party instructional providers.
Each college is eligible for an allocation determined by the college’s Budget Full-Time Equivalency (BFTE) weighted for each funding Tier, as presented in Table 1. Funding is made available through August 30, 2023. Coding: Colleges must use the new Financial Aid coding.
Colleges may not use the coding from the previous Workforce Resilience Scholarships. Due to the complexities of administering these funds and the associated state reporting requirements, Colleges shall follow the workflows that will be provided in ServiceNow documentation utilizing the Colleague Financial Aid module.
These required processes will ensure correct awarding, coding, and reporting of aid to students, and facilitate data matching at the state-level to comply with the legislation’s reporting requirements. These funds shall not be processed using sponsorship or third-party payer workflows sometimes used for WCE student support programs. Technical Assistance Webinar: A webinar will be held January 17, 2023, at 2:00.
