Pennsylvania PennDOT Career and Technical Education Grant — 2026

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is accepting applications for its 2026 Career and Technical Education (CTE) competitive grant reimbursement program. Eligible Pennsylvania educational institutions may use funding to develop or expand technical training curriculum and delivery relevant to the heavy highway industry. Eligible applicants include public, private and cyber schools, Career and Technical Centers, Youth Development Centers, and institutions of higher learning located in Pennsylvania or, for cyber schools, serving Pennsylvania students. Applications are open through September 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET through PennDOT’s eGrants system. PennDOT has $12 million in direct grant reimbursement funding and intends to award up to $500,000 per eligible applicant. An additional $3 million is available through the Supportive Services Center, up to $10,000 per student. Atlas Opportunity Score: 89/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The opportunity is highly relevant to Pennsylvania education and workforce development, but the verified scope is heavy-highway technical training rather than healthcare, telehealth, RPM, school health, or clinical technology; Atlas therefore does not classify it as an N9+ commercial opportunity. Because fewer than 48 hours remain before the September 1 deadline, this opportunity is published for grant intelligence but applicant-facing outreach is barred under Atlas’s 48-hour rule.
