The program aims to address personnel shortages in vocational rehabilitation by providing financial assistance for academic training to develop specialized professionals who can support individuals with mental health disorders in achieving competitive integrated employment. Grantees must allocate at least 65% of project funds as scholarships to students (RSA scholars), focusing on developing advanced counseling skills, understanding emerging consumer employment needs, and integrating assistive technology. Eligible applicants include states, public or private nonprofit agencies, organizations, Indian Tribes, and higher education institutions. The application deadline is July 17, 2025, with submissions to be made electronically through Grants.gov following the Department of Education's Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs.
The federal grant opportunity anticipates approximately $15,000,000 in available funds, with around 15 awards expected for the mental health rehabilitation topic area. Each award will have a maximum value of $200,000 per budget period, with a potential project period of up to 60 months (5 years).
