Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 020118 001
The Office of Indian Education (OIE) within the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), offers the Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060A). This is a mandatory grant program designed to help eligible entities build and operate elementary and secondary education programs that specifically serve American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students. The central idea is to fund comprehensive efforts that respond to the distinct cultural, language, and educational needs of AI/AN students while also supporting their ability to meet the same challenging State academic standards expected of all students.
The program is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). A notable feature highlighted in the notice is the option, under ESEA section 6116, for a grantee to request authorization to consolidate multiple Federal funding streams that are used exclusively for Indian students. To do this, the grantee must submit an acceptable plan for integrating education and related services, and the Department will coordinate with other relevant Federal agencies as part of that approval process. The instructions for submitting this integration plan are provided inside the program's online application system.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the Electronic Application System for Indian Education (EASIE), which is accessed through the EDFacts System Portal (https://eden.ed.gov). Paper submissions are not accepted and will be rejected unless the applicant qualifies for a specific exception to the electronic submission requirement and follows the alternative submission rules described in the official notice. EASIE is split into two required components, and applicants have to meet the deadline for both parts or they will be deemed ineligible for an award.
EASIE Part I focuses on the Indian student count. All applicants are required to submit a current verified Indian student count for FY 2018 through the system's data-entry screens. Student eligibility must be documented using the Indian Student Eligibility Certification Form (ED 506). Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools have an additional option: they may verify counts using either the Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) count or the ED 506-based count. The notice also emphasizes privacy protections: applicants must safeguard individual-level data and report only aggregated totals to the Secretary.
For applicants using ED 506 forms to verify the student count, the notice lays out specific documentation responsibilities. Each year, the applicant must confirm that every Indian child included in the count has a valid ED 506 form on file. Those forms must be properly completed and must be signed and dated by the parent. In addition, the applicant must keep a copy of the enrollment roster or rosters that cover the same period identified as the count period in the application, and each child included in the count must appear on the LEA's enrollment roster for at least one day during that count period. These requirements are essentially audit-ready recordkeeping expectations meant to ensure the student count used for funding is accurate and supportable.
Key timeline dates included in the notice are tied to the two-part EASIE submission process. EASIE Part I applications were available February 5, 2018, with a Part I transmittal deadline of March 8, 2018. EASIE Part II applications were available April 9, 2018, with a Part II transmittal deadline of May 17, 2018 (the original closing date). The Department warns that missing either deadline means the application will not be considered for funding. It also notes that failing to submit required supplemental documentation by the applicable deadline results in an incomplete application that will not be reviewed. OIE specifically recommends uploading documentation at least two days before each deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
From the opportunity metadata, the funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 020118 001, the agency is the Department of Education, and the program anticipated a large volume of awards (expected awards listed as 1300). The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the synopsis, which typically indicates that awards are determined by the formula rather than a single competitive maximum, but the definitive details on amounts and calculations would be in the Federal Register notice and associated program guidance. Eligibility is summarized broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the narrative indicating that LEAs, Indian Tribes and organizations, and other eligible entities are among the intended applicants, and the official notice should be consulted for the precise eligibility rules.Apply for ED GRANTS 020118 001
