Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 050925 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) is offering a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity under the Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP), specifically the Grants to State Entities competition (Assistance Listing Number 84.282A). The basic idea is that the U.S. Department of Education does not primarily fund individual charter schools directly through this competition. Instead, it funds a qualifying state-level entity, and that state entity then runs a subgrant program to fund eligible applicants within the state. Those subgrants are intended to help open new charter schools and to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools, with the broader goal of increasing student access to strong public charter school options.
This opportunity is only open to applicants in states that have a state statute that specifically authorizes the establishment of charter schools. Within such states, the eligible applicant must meet the program definition of a "State entity." Under the notice summary, a State entity can be (a) a State educational agency, (b) a State charter school board, (c) a Governor of a State, or (d) a charter school support organization. In practical terms, this means the applicant is expected to have statewide reach and the capacity to manage a competitive subgrant process, oversee use of federal funds, and support charter school growth aligned with federal program requirements.
The program purpose centers on expanding opportunity through quality charter schools serving elementary and secondary students. While the emphasis is K-12, the description notes that charter schools supported with these funds may also serve students in early childhood education programs or postsecondary students. That language signals some flexibility for charter models that include pre-K components or partnerships/structures that extend beyond traditional grade spans, as long as the core purpose and allowable activities align with the CSP framework and the state entitys subgrant design.
From an administrative standpoint, this posting is a synopsis of the official Federal Register application notice, and applicants are directed to rely on the Federal Register version for authoritative details. The notice summary highlights that the official publication contains the specific requirements that tend to determine competitiveness and compliance, including eligibility nuances, pre-application and application requirements, application submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and program contact information. It also points applicants to the Department of Educations Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 23, 2024) for standardized guidance on where and how to obtain and submit applications.
Key listing details included with the opportunity indicate it is a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) within the education funding activity category, administered by the Department of Education. The opportunity number is ED GRANTS 050925 001, it was created May 9, 2025, and the original closing date is June 9, 2025. The announcement anticipates making about six awards. An award ceiling is not stated in the provided summary, which typically means applicants need to consult the official Federal Register notice (and any related program materials) to understand funding ranges, budget expectations, matching or leveraging considerations if any, and any limits on administrative costs or subgrant sizes.
Overall, this competition is aimed at states that want to scale the number and reach of strong charter schools by building a structured pipeline of subgrants and supports. The state entity acts as the hub: it competes for the federal award, then designs and administers a subgrant program that funds new school openings and the replication or expansion of proven, high-quality charter school models, consistent with the states charter law and the federal CSP requirements.Apply for ED GRANTS 050925 001
