Rural distance learning grants made available - Tuttle Times
Acting Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural Development Douglas L. Faulkner announced that USDA is accepting applications for grants through the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant Program to provide access to education, training and healthcare resources in rural areas. Funding for the program is subject to Congressional appropriations. “These grants will increase the range of educational opportunities available to students in rural communities and improve access to healthcare for countless numbers of rural Americans,” Faulkner said. “The DLT program provides increased economic opportunity by expanding telecommunications, educational resources and computer networks throughout rural America.” In 2008, USDA Rural Development provided grants totaling $28.2 million under the program to 105 recipients in 41 states.
