Description

Section 243 of the Federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, Title II, Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides funds to be awarded through the Pennsylvania
Department of Education (PDE), Bureau of Postsecondary and Higher Education, Division of
Adult Education (division) to provide Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education
programing. The total federal funding available for awards to provide Section 243 Integrated
English Literacy and Civics Education programing under this Request for Grant Applications
(RGA) is approximately $2.25 million. This amount is based on the estimated federal grant
award for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 and is subject to change.
As stated in WIOA, funds allocated under section 243 are to be used for grants for integrated
English literacy and civics education in combination with integrated education and training
activities. Each program that receives funding under this application shall be designed to
prepare adults who are English language learners for, and place such adults in, unsubsidized
employment in in-demand industries and occupations that lead to economic self-sufficiency and
integrate with the local workforce development system and its functions.
As defined in 34 CFR 463.33, the integrated English literacy and civics education services
provided under this funding opportunity are “education services provided to English language
learners who are adults, including professionals with degrees or credentials in their native
countries, that enable such adults to achieve competency in the English language and acquire
the basic and more advanced skills needed to function effectively as parents, workers, and
citizens in the United States. Integrated English literacy and civics education services must
include instruction in literacy and English language acquisition and instruction on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and civic participation, and may include workforce training.”
Information on the program and how to apply can be found in the attached Request for Grant Application document and on the Division of Adult Education Grants webpage: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/education/programs-and-services/instruction/adult-basic-and-family-literacy-education/grants
