Yes. A 5% match is required for all JET awards. To count, cash matching funds must be expended on the equipment approved under the contract and must be for the same CTE program for which the grant funds are provided. Therefore, grantees pay the 5% contribution directly to the vendor from whom the approved equipment is purchased. The grantee is required to keep the match documentation for a period of seven (7) years after closeout for audit purposes.
