The Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging (DDA) recently announced it will award grants for state colleges and universities to assist students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The grants are provided through DDA’s Tennessee Believes program, which received $1 million in funding this year from Gov. Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly. Half of the funding will go to already awarded multi-year grants, with approximately $500,000 available to new awardees. Qualifying institutions can apply on the DDA website. Applications are due by Feb. 14.
