About this award
The Department of Military Affairs Kentucky, operating as Blue Grass Challenge Academy, received a $5.14 million Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, under the National Guard ChalleNGe Program (CFDA 12.404). The academy delivers comprehensive residential education and training services to at-risk youth aged 16–18 who are credit deficient or have discontinued secondary school attendance. Program services include military-inspired instruction, structured mentoring, community service opportunities, technical skills development, and support for obtaining high school diplomas or equivalency credentials designed to improve participants' life skills, academic achievement, and employment potential.
As a congressionally directed, non-discretionary program administered through state National Guard organizations, the National Guard ChalleNGe Program operates exclusively through cooperative agreements with authorized state entities. The Blue Grass Challenge Academy, located at Fort Knox, Kentucky, delivers this federally funded initiative through a residential educational model that combines military methodology with comprehensive youth development programming. The cooperative agreement requires the awardee to maintain detailed cost and expenditure records for three years following award closeout and operates under a typical 75 percent federal to 25 percent state cost-share arrangement.
