AGENCY:

Office of Vocational and Adult Education, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice of availability of assistance for ALU LIKE, Inc. under the Native Hawaiian Vocational Education Program (NHVEP).

SUMMARY:

The NHVEP provides financial assistance to projects that provide vocational training and related activities for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. Eligible program applicants are organizations primarily serving and representing Native Hawaiians that are recognized by the Governor of the State of Hawaii (the Governor).

In December 2001, the Governor recommended that the Department of Education consider ALU LIKE, Inc. of Honolulu for funding under the NHVEP. We have, therefore, requested an application from ALU LIKE, Inc. We will review the ALU LIKE, Inc. application for compliance with section 116(h) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (the Perkins Act). If the application is approved, we will award a grant of up to five years to ALU LIKE, Inc. on or about July 31, 2002.

Funds currently available for the NHVEP are $2,750,000 from the FY 2001 appropriation and $2,950,000 from the FY 2002 appropriation. Funding for subsequent project years is subject to the availability of appropriations and to the grantee making substantial progress in meeting its goals and objectives, in accordance with 34 CFR 75.253.
