Financial Support for State CDAs

State Career Development Associations are invited to submit a proposal to apply for the Annual NCDA/Tennessee State Grant.

[This was previously two separate grants, but they have been combined into one, so there is only one grant and one submission per CDA permitted.]
 

Remember it is the responsibility of state CDAs to complete all information requests from NCDA by set deadlines to be eligible to receive State CDA benefits. Please read the State CDA Eligibility Policy.
