Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 25 31
The **State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula, Round 3 (SAEF3)** grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, provides funding to support the expansion of Registered Apprenticeship programs. This funding opportunity is part of a five-year investment strategy and consists of two main components:
1. **Base Formula Funding** – Available to all states and territories that apply. Smaller territories with fewer than 100 active apprentices, such as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are eligible for up to $75,000 but do not qualify for additional competitive funding. 2. **Competitive Funding** – States and territories demonstrating readiness to implement multiple innovative, evidence-based apprenticeship strategies can apply for additional funding. This competitive portion is intended to foster innovation, sector-based strategies, and improved workforce system alignment.
The Department of Labor is reviewing all funding announcements in alignment with recent Executive Orders aimed at eliminating radical DEI programs and restoring merit-based opportunity. Adjustments may be made to the funding opportunity, including changes to the closing date.
