P-TECH is a model that provides wrap-around support services to economically disadvantaged students, helping them earn a high school diploma, a two-year associate (Applied Associates) degree, and first-in-line consideration for employment with a partnering company. Eligible LEAs receive $750 per enrolled P-TECH student and must match 100% of the grant funds received (in-kind matching is allowable). Approximately $1.75–$1.9 million is available statewide across approximately nine grants annually, with funding amounts based on final enrollment verified through the Enrollment Validation file. Funds cover tuition, fees, textbooks, course materials, laptops and technology for college course access, industry-recognized credential fees, transportation to college classes and for work-based learning, substitute teacher fees, marketing materials, paid work-based learning experiences, and wrap-around support services for enrolled students. The program operates on an annual cycle (e.g., FY25: July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025; FY26: July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026; FY27: July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027).
