About Higher Education Grants for Community College

Community colleges can access 7,368 active grants ranging from $180,000 to $1.5 million, with the U.S. National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health leading the funding landscape. These opportunities span capacity building, program development, and workforce training initiatives designed specifically for two-year institutions.

The vast majority of these grants—92 percent—operate on a competitive basis, requiring institutions to submit detailed proposals against other applicants. Cost-sharing requirements remain minimal at just 8 percent, making these grants more accessible for under-resourced institutions. To refine your search, filter by support type to identify whether your institution is best positioned for capacity-building versus program-specific funding.
