Distance learning grant

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service awarded a $807,266 Project Grant to North Central Missouri College under the Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.855) to deliver distance education and telehealth services to the Trenton, Missouri area. The 2-year grant project, running from August 2023 to August 2025, will enable the college to implement telecommunications-enabled distance learning and telemedicine initiatives that provide educational and healthcare benefits to rural populations. North Central Missouri College, a U.S. state government entity and educational institution, operates as a subrecipient under this federal grant award. The college has previously received over $3 million in pandemic relief funding from the Department of Education and workforce development grants from state agencies to support its academic programs and student services.
