What is the meaning of “postsecondary”? Will LAAP fund elementary and secondary education?
Roughly speaking, “postsecondary” refers to anything that is college or university level education, or any education or training that is targeted to adults. LAAP will not generally fund elementary and secondary education aimed at K-12 students, but adult GED programs or the delivery of community college courses for college credit to high school students, for example, would be eligible, as would teacher training and school-college partnerships. Postsecondary providers may include museums, public libraries, adult literacy programs, workforce-related programs and many other types of organizations in addition to institutions of higher education, and all are welcome to apply as part of partnerships.
