Career Success Allowance Program

CSAP

The Mountain View Public Library is making it easier for adult learners to expand their knowledge through new programs. The Library recently launched the Career Success Allowance Program, which provides monetary support for adult students who are earning their high school diploma through the Career Online High School [ https://library.mountainview.gov/learn/career-skill-building/earn-your-high-school-diploma ].

Through the allowance program, active COHS students can qualify to receive a monthly cash allowance as they earn their accredited high school diploma and credentialed career certificate. Students who meet progress parameters may receive up to $720 per month while in the COHS program for up to 18 months. This unrestricted funding can be used to provide some income and child care to free up time for school.

To qualify for the Career Success Allowance Program, participants must be:


* Age 19 and older.
* A Mountain View resident.
* Currently enrolled in the Library’s Career Online High School program or completed the pre-requisite courses.

Learning is self-paced, and students are expected to spend approximately 10 hours
per week on coursework. In September 2023, the City Council approved funding for the allowance program as part of the City of Mountain View’s workforce development and small business assistance initiatives. Funding is available for up to 10 students. For more information, visit MountainView.gov/CSAP.
