NIGP 95054: Grants, Student Tuition and Fees

NIGP 95054 Grants, Student Tuition And Fees is an Item code under which state and local governments award grants and vouchers to support educational access for eligible youth and young adults, typically through nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, school districts, and local government agencies. The scope of work involves administering grant programs that provide financial support for tuition, fees, room and board, books, supplies, transportation, computers, childcare, and living expenses for target populations—most commonly foster youth and young adults aging out of care. State and local issuing bodies include state departments (particularly human services and child welfare agencies), school districts, and tribal governments; the work is typically procured through Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) or similar grant-application solicitations rather than traditional competitive bids.

The State of Nevada Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child and Family Services posted the most recent documented opportunity under this code on April 17, 2026: a NOFO for administration of Nevada's Chafee Educational and Training Voucher (ETV) Program for State Fiscal Years 2027 and 2028, with applications due by May 22, 2026. The procurement sought a single statewide agency or two separate agencies to serve northern and southern Nevada regions, with eligible applicants including nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, school districts, tribal governments, and local government agencies; the ETV program provides up to $5,000 annually per eligible youth ages 14–26 currently or formerly in foster care. The total funding available was $450,000 for State Fiscal Year 2027 and $450,000 for State Fiscal Year 2028, with a mandatory 20 percent minimum match required; the performance period ran July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, with award announcements expected in June 2026.
