Announcing the New Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) Projects

"Special Announcment" with confetti in the background: New TPSID Grants Have Been Awarded. A map with the 28 sites is featured.

In October 2025, 28 Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities, or TPSID, grants were awarded for the period of October 2025 - September 2030. These grants are awarded to institutions of higher education or consortia of institutions of higher education to enable them to create or expand high quality, inclusive model comprehensive transition and postsecondary (CTP) programs for students with intellectual disability. This is the fourth cohort of TPSID grants to be awarded!

The grant recipients represent a range of institutions of higher education from 20 states around the country. Ten are previous TPSID grantees, and five are brand new programs. Each of the awardees have proposed to expand, improve, or create a postsecondary program for students with intellectual disability that meets a range of criteria set out by the US Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education, which can be found on the US DOE website

Congratulations to all of the awardees! Each project’s grant project abstract is available for public viewing. A grant project abstract is a short, easy-to-read summary that explains what the project will do, why it’s important, and who it will help. 

You can find more about current and past TPSIDs on the Think College website.
