Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA or VR)’s core mission is to help people with disabilities find and maintain employment. As every individual is different, so too are the services our Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program offers. Some people may just need a hearing aid or training in assistive technology, others may need support with employment or post-secondary education.

GVRA & Bud McCall
Bud McCall Post-Secondary Vocational Rehabilitation Grant allows up to $17,725 to be awarded annually to eligible students with disabilities seeking post-secondary education.
Candidates for the grant must have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan. To be eligible, they also must have a permanent disability that results in a substantial impediment to employment and be eligible for GVRA services.
To apply, visit the GVRA website- Bud McCall Grant .
The Bud McCall Grant is named in memory of the first-born son of former State Representative Tom McCall and Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Services Board Member Jane McCall, whose love for others served as an inspiration to his family, friends, and the entire community.
