Overview of Available Grants

WSAC plans to award two tiers of grants. Tier one grants will award up to $125,000 over one year to entities focused on building new partnerships aimed at improving postsecondary attainment and career pathways. Tier two grants will award an average of $750,000 per group per year over two-and-a-half years to established partnerships that are ready to test new strategies, expand efforts, or scale up to support more students.

Application Process

Applicants must submit a Letter of Interest by 11:59pm on October 21, 2022 that addresses the requirements for the type of grant they seek. WSAC will select a limited number of both Tier One and Tier Two applicants to advance for further review and discussion.
