Opportunity Information: Apply for HE125424R5000
This funding opportunity, titled "Grants to Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs and the World Language Advancement and Readiness Program" (Funding Opportunity Number HE125424R5000), is a discretionary grant competition run by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). The program falls under the Education funding activity category and is listed under CFDA number 12.556. In practical terms, it is designed to provide grant funding to eligible school systems that serve military-connected students, with an emphasis on strengthening academics and support services, and advancing world language learning and readiness.
Eligible applicants are independent school districts, meaning local educational agencies (LEAs) that operate as school districts and meet the eligibility requirements described by the program. The opportunity is structured as a grant (rather than a contract or cooperative agreement). While the full program details would typically spell out allowable activities, performance expectations, and reporting requirements, the core focus indicated by the title is twofold: support for academic and student support programming in military-impacted communities, and initiatives under the World Language Advancement and Readiness Program, which generally points toward building or improving world language instruction as part of broader student readiness goals.
The application deadline (original closing date) is March 29, 2024. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $2,000,000 per award. The posting does not specify the number of expected awards in the source text provided, so prospective applicants would need to consult the full notice for anticipated award counts, funding ranges, project periods, and any cost-sharing or matching requirements, if applicable.
To help applicants understand the requirements and prepare a responsive application, DoDEA scheduled a Technical Assistance Webinar on February 29, 2024, hosted at https://dodeagrants.org. This webinar is intended to walk potential applicants through key elements of the opportunity, such as program goals, eligibility, application components, and common compliance items.
For questions, application support, or clarifications, the announcement directs applicants to the DoDEA Grant Program Office at DoDEA.Grants@dodea.edu or by phone at 571-372-6026.
