$30 million federal grant cements SDSU’s national leadership in vocational rehabilitation

The Rehabilitation Services Administration award to the Interwork Institute will establish a technical assistance center to help agencies across the U.S. better serve people with disabilities.

In one of the largest federal grants in San Diego State University history, the Interwork Institute has been selected to launch a national center to help vocational rehabilitation programs across the U.S. better empower individuals with disabilities to attain careers and independence.

In late September, the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration awarded $30 million over five years to support the creation of the National Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center (NVRTAC).

The grant is the largest award SDSU has ever received from the Department of Education, and the largest award ever garnered by the College of Education. It was also one of four major grants awarded by RSA to SDSU in one week that will boost vocational rehabilitation and rehabilitation counseling services.
