Short-Term Pell Programs Meeting Innovation Goals |
Congress is currently working to reconcile the differences between two pieces of legislation that each have the goal of making the United States more competitive on the international stage in the areas of technology and scientific research. Top priorities include semiconductor chip manufacturing, cyber security, and medical research.
The House version of this bill also includes a provision to allow the Pell Grant to be used for short-term programs of this length.
ACCT is seeking examples of short-term programs (150-600 clock hours) that would both be eligible for short-term Pell and prepare workers to be employed in fields related to the bill, such as high-tech manufacturing, cyber security, or laboratory research.
