Abstract: The Community College Gap Assistance program was established by the Nebraska Legislature in 2015 to address identified skilled workforce shortages and an identified affordability and workforce preparation "gap." The program provides financial aid to low-income community college students enrolled in credit or non-credit programs of study that prepare them for jobs in high-need fields but are not eligible for Pell or state Nebraska Opportunity Grants, which serve only students enrolled in for-credit courses leading to certificates or degrees. With the passage of LB 528 (2021), eligible institutions were expanded to include accredited, not-for-profit, two-year postsecondary institutions with a physical presence in Nebraska. References to community colleges in this report include these institutions. The Nebraska Community College Student Performance and Occupational Education Grant Committee provides direction for the Gap Assistance program, and the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education administers the program. At the direction of the committee, community colleges are required to report basic demographic, program, and employment data for each participant to gauge the effectiveness of the Gap Assistance program.
