Opportunity Summary:
The Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Labor on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, specifically through the Office of Postsecondary Education. Its core purpose is to strengthen the day-to-day quality and effectiveness of federally funded TRIO projects by investing in training for the people who run them. In practical terms, the program funds organized training initiatives aimed at improving how TRIO projects operate by building the knowledge and skills of TRIO staff and leadership personnel. This includes individuals currently employed in TRIO-funded projects, those participating in TRIO efforts, and people preparing to work in TRIO programs, with the overall goal of improving project performance and administration.
Eligible applicants include a range of higher education and nonprofit organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category listed). The opportunity is categorized under Education activities and is associated with CFDA number 84.103. Funding is provided through a grant instrument, and applicants should rely on the official Application Notice and Instructions for detailed eligibility rules and any additional requirements that may affect who can apply, what activities are allowable, and what documentation is needed.
The funding opportunity number is ED GRANT 26 026. The application closing date is July 6, 2026. The program anticipates making around six awards, with an award ceiling of $1,100,000 per award. The opportunity was created on May 21, 2026. Since the stated intent is training to improve TRIO project operations, competitive applications will typically be expected to present a clear plan for delivering high-quality training that is relevant to TRIO implementation and leadership needs, and that can plausibly lead to stronger management and outcomes within TRIO-funded projects, as further defined in the official notice and instructions.
