Upcoming Competitions for TRIO Funding

The following TRIO grant writing competition schedule is found on the U.S. Dept. of Education's website. It came as a shock to many TRIO professionals because Dr. Linda Byrd-Johnson has suggested that the competitions might be posponed until new program regulations are finalized. The competitions cannot conducted with the new regulations, so the dates have stimulated concern that the regulation publication is near.

These competition dates puts the competitions on schedule. It is not known whether the schedule might be subject to change.
