Eligibility Details
- Public community and technical colleges, as defined under RCW 28B.50.030, and Centers of Excellence (COE), as codified under RCW 28B.50.902 may apply for funding.
- Colleges may submit only one application as an individual institution or as the lead institution of a consortium.
- Applications are allowed from both a Center of Excellence (COE) and, separately, from their host college.
- Applications from a COE should be in a separate OGMS application, but submitted through its host college.
- While a COE can submit applications separately, and colleges may participate in more than one consortium, the review panel will be cautious about awarding funding for multiple projects to one institution.
Deadline Details
Applications are to be submitted by April 4, 2024. A similar deadline is anticipated, annually.
