Grantee Handbook

About

This handbook was produced by the Office of Adult Education Initiatives (AEI) to provide federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) and state Adult Education Literacy Act (AELA) grantees information about the requirements they must adhere to as recipients of funds under the grant. The goal is for grantees to have a clear and comprehensive understanding of what is expected of them. Additional technical assistance and resource documents will be provided through other means.
