A grant is considered to be closed when one of the following occurs: 1) the time period for which the grant was awarded has expired; 2) the need for which the grant was awarded is met; 3) changes have occurred and the project has been deactivated (rescission applies); or 4) performance was unfavorable and rescission is directed by the Alabama Community College System Workforce Development Division.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n There is no guarantee for continued project funding beyond the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>grant<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>closeout date.
