The College and Career Readiness Bureau (CCRB) administers competitive funding to support schools in their efforts to transform the high school experience. This involves creating a distinctive graduate profile that reflects the needs of the local community, the implementation of work-based learning, career technical education (CTE), capstone projects, social and emotional learning (SEL), and other programs aligned with core academics aimed at preparing students for future success in innovative and impactful ways.
Applications for funding open in the spring, and are evaluated and selected by members of the CCRB team along with other representatives of the NMPED.
Applications for 2024-25 are currently closed. Check back for future application information and deadlines.
