ELIGIBILITY
School Districts can claim funds annually based on the number of students who meet the following eligibility criteria:
-
Certifications earned were on the approved graduating year Certifications List.
-
Students graduated with a regular high school diploma or a technical education high school diploma.
-
Funding is limited to $1000 per pupil regardless of the number certifications the student earned on the approved list.
Class of 2018 Applications
- A new online secure application form for Class of 2018 Graduates is in development and will be ready this summer. Make sure to obtain the required documentation PRIOR to students graduating in the next few weeks.
- Check the Approved 2017-18 Certifications List for documentation requirements.
- The new online secure application requires access using a WAMS ID. Make sure to obtain a WAMS ID now so that you are ready once the new secure application becomes available.
Class of 2017 Applications
- 2017 submissions are currently in final checks by the Department or Workforce Development for pro-rating funding .
- Over 6500 submissions for funding were received; therefore, funding will be prorated accordingly.
- Final verification emails will be distributed to all applicant schools in Spring 2018. Notifications will go to the district administrator and the application submitter.
- Please note that the CTE Technical Incentive grants are NOT cost reimbursement grants, therefore funds do not require claim receipts to DPI nor do they need to be expended by end of fiscal year 2018.

- These funds are intended to reimburse the costs involved with providing the industry-recognized certification, but the schools are not required to segregate the funding into a CTE-only fund. We encourage schools to do so, but it is not required by legislation or administrative rule.
