This summer the U.S. Department of Education and the American Association of Community Colleges will be cohosting two convenings designed to help rural community colleges identify, plan, and design projects for federal grant applications. We’re calling them Rural Community College Grant Application Convenings. Activities will include facilitated workshops and information from federal agencies with upcoming grant opportunities. Please register a team from your community to attend the event below that is nearest to your college.

We will host the convenings (each of which will offer the same content) on the dates and locations below. Each registration link has information about local hotels that may be contacted directly if you need overnight accommodations near the convening:
