• NOTE: ASL interpretation has been secured for this webinar.

This session will be the annual grant informational webinar for the state and federal Adult Education Grant Application.

The Annual ABE Grant Application is the application that must be submitted on June 1 by all consortia in order to continuing receiving state and federal Adult Education funds. This year, the application will be submitted through a new grants system, Minnesota Education Grant System (MEGS). An overview of MEGS will be included in this webinar, so it is especially important for each Minnesota ABE consortium to send at least one representative to this virtual session. Participants are encouraged to share the resources and learning with other staff in their consortium.

Topics will include:

• Information and guidance on the Annual ABE Grant Application for Fiscal Year 24–25
• Overview of the MEGS grant application system
• Update on statewide contact hours
• Professional Development announcements
• Other announcements and topics TBD

Web chat with MN ABE is a webinar discussion led by state ABE staff from the Minnesota Department of Education. Web Chat webinars provide updates from the state ABE office on new and emerging issues and an opportunity for local ABE staff to ask questions and provide information to the Minnesota Adult Ed state team.

For those unable to attend, the meeting and materials will be available on the Literacy Action Network website after the meeting: http://literacyactionnetwork.org/supplemental-service-activities/web-chat-with-mnabe.
