Employer Scholarship Project for Recently Separated Veterans
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) provides $1 million in funding for the Employer Scholarship Project for Recently Separated Veterans. Scholarships are awarded for skills training based on employers' identification of the skills necessary for Texas' future economic growth. When employers identify these needs, the training fund enables recently separated veterans to upgrade their skills to meet current and future workforce demands. Private Texas employers can apply to TWC for training grants by partnering with established training providers such as community colleges, apprenticeship training programs, or community-based training programs with demonstrated experience. Employers must be based in Texas and in good standing and in compliance with the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act and other applicable state and federal labor laws. Veterans eligible for skills training scholarships must: be discharged or released from active duty within the previous 36 months; be discharged or released from active duty under conditions other than dishonorable; have served during a war, campaign, or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized; be employed by a participating employer or have an offer of employment from a participating employer; and provide a DD-214 to document service status. Scholarship funds can be used to pay tuition, books, and fees for eligible veterans and must not exceed $1,000 per scholarship without substantial justification.
