Congress provides funding to the U.S.
Department of Education for the Grants to States for Workplace and
Community Transition Training for Incarcerated Individuals program
(Title VIII, Part D of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, as
amended). The most recent amendment passed via Pub. L. 110-315
requires State Correctional Education Agencies to submit a proposal
in order to be eligible. The law also requires that appropriated
funds be allotted to each State in an amount that bears the same
relationship to the total number of eligible individuals in each
State. Therefore, States must submit data concerning the number of
eligible individuals under the program, so that the Department can
run the State allocation formula. State Correctional Education
Agencies (SCEA) are required to conduct an evaluation and to
annually report to the Secretary of Education on the results of the
evaluation.
