About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Virginia Commonwealth University received a $204,783 Project Grant from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Rehabilitation Long-Term Training program (CFDA 84.129) awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. The grant supports VCU's initiative to expand the vocational rehabilitation (VR) workforce through certificate-based Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD) solutions. This effort addresses identified personnel shortages in the state-federal VR service system by providing academic training in rehabilitation counseling, positioning VCU to increase the supply of qualified personnel equipped to serve individuals with disabilities.

Under program requirements, VCU must allocate a minimum of 65 percent of project funds toward scholarships that cover student stipends, tuition, fees, books, supplies, and travel for enrolled trainees. The certificate-based model represents an alternative credential pathway complementing traditional master's degree offerings, thereby diversifying training modalities to meet workforce development objectives and enhance accessibility to VR career preparation.
