These Grants Could Help Students With Disabilities Access Jobs, Training

• Share article

The U.S. Department of Education is investing $236 million into a perennial challenge in education: Helping young people with disabilities move from K-12 schools to post-secondary programs and the workforce.

School districts, state education and health agencies, higher education institutions, Indian tribes, and nonprofits will have a chance to compete for a slice of the funding, which aims to support innovative proposals to tackle this tricky and challenging transition.

The Education Department expects to allocate around 23 to 29 grants of $8 million to $10 million apiece, for up to five years.

While the program isn’t brand new, this is the largest pot of money that has been made available so far—the most recent round of grants allocated just under $200 million.

AI is going to improve the skill set of a worker. That gives me hope that we can diversify our workforce to include as many people as possible.

It’s also the first time that the grants can be directed to nonprofits and higher education institutions, a change made possible through congressional action.

And it’s the first time that the grants have centered in part on two particular technology-related goals: enabling people with disabilities to succeed in jobs or professions that involve the use of technology; or using or creating technologies to support people with disabilities in the workplace.

Proposals can focus on either of those technology-related priorities or they can address one or more of three other areas: helping people with disabilities who have been incarcerated or otherwise involved with the justice system transition to careers and higher education; assisting people with disabilities developed after birth in career development and post-secondary schooling; and helping “disconnected” people with disabilities—such as people from low-income families, those experiencing homelessness, or kids who were in foster care—as they enter the workforce or continue their education.

Applicants’ proposals can aim to help people with a wide range of disabilities. They include physical disabilities (such as mobility impairments or chronic health conditions), sensory difficulties (such as blindness or deafness), intellectual disabilities (such as developmental delays or cognitive challenges), and mental health conditions (such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder).

Those disabilities collectively impact a significant chunk of the population. In fact, more than a quarter—26 percent—of adults live with a disability, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2018.

And 7.1 million students ages 5 through 21 received services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the main federal law for students in special education, during the 2022-23 school year .

‘New possibilities for individuals with disabilities’

The competition was designed to “truly promote innovation in the space of rehabilitation services,” said Danté Q. Allen, the commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration in the department’s Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

“There are a number of new technologies out there, like artificial intelligence, that may be opening new possibilities for individuals with disabilities to take part in jobs that were previously not seen as fitting for that individual with that particular disability,” Allen said. “I would personally love to see how those technologies can be applied in a way that would redefine what we see as opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”

Eleazar “Trey” Vasquez III, a professor at the University of Central Florida and director of its Toni Jenkins Exceptional Education Institute, sees possibilities, too. He noted that data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed that when AI is used properly, it can boost worker productivity significantly.

“AI is going to improve the skill set of a worker,” he said. “That gives me hope that we can diversify our workforce to include as many people as possible.”

Applications for the grants were made available on April 9, and the department would like applicants to notify the agency of their intent to apply by April 23. Applications are due on July 8.

The department will be hosting an informational, pre-application meeting to field applicants’ questions on May 1 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

How much can you make in the military? US officers can earn up to a $220K salary plus some pretty generous benefits

• Base pay is the same across the military but can increase significantly as you move up the ranks.
• Military personnel can get other tax-free allowances for housing and meals.
• Other benefits include comprehensive healthcare, discounted education, and hefty signing bonuses.  

Military service is a form of government employment .

Like many other government jobs, it offers various benefits. But how much can you actually make in the military?

Military service can offer a solid base pay , especially as you rank up. But the full compensation package of active military personnel goes beyond annual salary.

BI talked to various branches in the Department of Defense, including the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, National Guard, and Air Force, as well as military personnel across these branches, to decode the often complex military compensation packages.

Officers can earn up to a $220k salary

All active duty military personnel adhere to the same pay scale and ranking system for base pay, regardless of which branch they serve in.

The basic pay scale is mainly split into two categories: enlisted members and officers. Enlisted members are ranked from E1-E9 and officers are ranked from O1-O10.

Some military members also receive special pay on top of their base pay if they hold a military specialty or qualification, or are based in a high-risk location. For example, an E5 nuclear specialist in the military receives an extra $150 a month. In the Space Force, specialty personnel get paid in increments of $75 to $450 per month, according to a spokesperson.

An enlisted service member with an E-1 ranking receives $2,017.20 per month in basic pay, according to the DoD 2024 basic pay table. Usually, E1-E4 members are living in the barracks so they have little to no expenses.

Service members receive a routine pay increase about every two years depending on their rank, but promotions can vary and it depends on evaluations, time spent in the military, and the specific branch. For example, if you're in the Navy, you may need to take exams to get promoted. To become an officer, you have to have a college degree.

A new officer's basic pay begins at about $3,826 per month, while a more senior officer with a 0-5 rank with 10 years of service will earn $9,153 per month. Although this rate is listed in the basic pay chart, it often takes 10 or more years to reach this rank.

An O-9 or O-10 officer can make up to about $18,491 per month, which comes out to about $221,900 per year. The earliest you can make that amount is after 20 years of service if you make it to the top ranking, which is difficult to achieve.

Paychecks also include tax-free allowances

Basic pay serves as the primary compensation for service members, but they also get several tax-free allowances on their paychecks.

Basic Allowance for Housing, or BAH, is one of the most common tax-free allowances. Service members start getting BAH when they reach E-5 or E-6, get married, or have kids. BAH rates are determined by the Department of Defense and are based on housing research and market analysis. They typically increase each year.

Service members receive amounts depending on their rank, number of dependents, and cost of living in their location. For example, an E-5 with dependents in San Diego receives $3,882 per month in BAH, according to Veteran.com .

Service members outside the US may also receive an additional overseas housing allowance to incentivize military members to serve internationally.

Related stories

Military personnel may also receive Basic Allowance for Subsistence, or BAS, which is meant to offset the cost of their meals. If they qualify, enlisted members get about $460 a month in BAS, according to the Department of Defense's Finance and Accounting Service.

There are various other allowances that depend on specific circumstances, like clothing allowances for uniforms or family separation allowances for service members who serve a tour of duty.

There can be big bonuses

The US military hands out signing bonuses as a recruiting tool to accelerate and fill certain gaps.

If offered, a typical enlistment bonus can range from $1,000 or $2,000, according to an Army spokesperson.

Some programs pay up to $50,000 for enlistment bonuses offered to those entering a key specialty like cyber military intelligence, according to an Army spokesperson.

The military also pays retention bonuses that target critical specialties. Some officers can receive as high as a $245,000 bonus over a 7-year contract. Bonus amounts are dependent on qualified officer types and when they sign the contract in their careers.

The dispersal of funds depends on the service designator program, a Navy spokesperson said. While some branches may give 50% upfront and disperse the rest over five years, others may disperse it evenly within the contract period.

The majority of the bonuses are taxable, with the exception of bonuses given to service members in a non-taxable zone, like Bahrain.

Common positions that receive bonuses include pilots, nuclear sailors, and service warfare officers, according to a Navy spokesperson.

Free education, free healthcare, and a pension

The military offers large education benefits with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which helps service members and their families pay for some of — or in some cases all of — the costs for college, grad school, and other training programs.

If you meet the 36-month requirement, you can get full tuition paid at a public school or up to $27,120.05 at a private institution. You may also be eligible for a housing allowance, according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs. You can also get up to 90% of education costs covered if you've served under 36 months.

Service members also qualify for the Blended Retirement System after 20 years of service. The retirement plan offers a traditional pension, which includes roughly 40% of pre-retirement pay calculated by multiplying 2% by their years of service by their highest 36 months of basic pay.

The system also offers a Thrift Savings Plan, which is a government-run 401(k) account, similar to a civilian retirement plan. It allows members to invest their money with a 1% contribution after 60 days of service. The government will also match contributions up to 4% of basic pay starting the second year. TSP can be accessed even if you don't complete 20 years of service.

Active duty service members, their families, and retirees can also receive free medical and dental care through Tricare, the military health care program. With Tricare, military members have no premium charges for coverage and no out-of-pocket costs for medical care or prescriptions.

Service members who serve 40 years in the military qualify for a yearly pension with their full salary.

As a service member, you'll also be eligible for a number of other benefits like discounted commissary and exchange at grocery stores and department stores. The military also covers the cost of moving if you're deployed to a different location.
