Description
The FY2027 LCAN Grant renewal provides continued funding to existing Local College/Career Access Networks that are in Years I–IV and have met current‑year deliverables. Recipients must retain a 501(c) fiscal agent and supply matching contributions (25‑50 % depending on grant year). Funding may cover salaries, benefits, travel, supplies, consultant contracts, and indirect costs (up to 12 % of direct costs). All budget items must be entered in the IowaGrants.gov system, with a detailed narrative justifying each expense and match. Successful applicants will continue to participate in bi‑weekly statewide coordinator meetings, collaborate within the LCAN network, and support Iowa College Aid’s broader college‑access initiatives.
