<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to announce that the Request for Applications (RFA) for the second round of Guided Pathways grant funding is now open. These grants will awarded on a competitive basis to five additional community and technical colleges to
participate in the Guided Pathways initiative funded by College Spark Washington. You can find the RFA materials on the SBCTC grants website:
<a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/grants/guided-pathways-rfa.aspx">https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/grants/guided-pathways-rfa.aspx</a> There are also links on the
<a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/student-success-center/default.aspx">
Student Success Center</a> website as well as on the <a href="http://collegespark.org/">
College Spark Washington</a> website, so that people can find it in multiple ways.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The detailed timeline of the process is on the website and in the RFA itself, but here are some important dates to note:<o:p></o:p></p>
