After informal discussions with our State agency contacts, we’re confident that the first round of the Career Technical Education Funding Program (CTEFP) will be opening Spring/Summer 2025 with a second round planned for 2026.
$600M has been allocated to this unique program under Prop 2.
Dates for submission have not yet been formalized but historically the deadline for applications is in November.
The CTEFP is reimbursable for previously self-funded projects.
Applications may be submitted anytime within the submission window as they are competitively scored once the window has closed.
You can request CTE funding for equipment as well as facilities and even submit for equipment only.
We are proactively reaching out to gauge interest in the CTEFP as our capacity will be increasingly limited once the round officially opens.
We recommend starting the grant application as soon as possible, as the program regulations have not changed since the last round. Our level of support varies with each District and their CTE programs in place, application scope, etc.
If your district is interested in getting application(s) on our CTEFP workload, please let us know and we will follow up with program information and next steps to begin the application process.
