Adult Vocational Training Grant (AVT)
Grants to support Karuk Tribal members in pursuing vocational education and training.
About the Program
The Tribe administers the AVT grant on a “first come first served” basis. These limited funds only allow for approximately five grant awards per year. Due to this limitation, grants are available “one time only’ to tribal members. These grants of up to $1000 each are sent directly to the vocational school that the tribal member is attending and applied to tuition costs.
Currently, internet courses or correspondence courses cannot be funded unless it is pre-approved on a reimbursement basis. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and you are encouraged to contact the TERO Department to see if you can receive assistance for your educational plan.
