The deadline is April 21, 2011 to submit grant applications

The Labor Department will award approximately $500 million this year through the program and a total of $2 billion over the next four years.

The program will be administered by the Labor Department in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education.

The Department intends to fund grants ranging from $2.5 million to $5 million for individual applicants and from $2.5 million to $20 million for consortium applicants.
