FY 2011-12 Applications

All FY 2011-12 General Business funds have been awarded.

Unfortunately, we are unable to continue funding Small Business WAT Grants for FY 2011-12. Jim Mackey has already contacted the colleges that have grants submitted asking if they can begin the training July 1, 2012. You may continue submitting Small Business grants at any time as long as they specifically state the work will begin on or after July 1, 2012.

**All applications must use the WATAPP-08/10 application form (see below).**
