Opportunity Summary:
The Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Programs grant (CFDA 84.215E) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education intended to help local educational agencies build out stronger school counseling services. The central goal is straightforward: give school districts the resources to either start new counseling programs or expand what they already have at the elementary and secondary levels. In practice, that means funding meant to increase access to counseling supports that can address students academic planning, social and emotional needs, and broader school success factors that quality counseling programs typically influence.
This competition was posted on January 12, 2010, with applications made available the same day. The deadline to submit applications was February 26, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on March 28, 2010. The Department anticipated making about 44 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding pool of $15,437,591. The maximum award amount listed (the award ceiling) was $400,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was limited to local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools if they are treated as LEAs under state law. A major restriction applied: any LEA that already had an active Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program grant was not eligible to apply in this round. The notice clarifies that a grant remains "active" until the end of the entire project or funding period, including any extensions that still allow the grantee to obligate funds. In other words, districts could not hold an ongoing award under this same program and also apply for a new one during this competition.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e-Application system available via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). A key procedural point was that applicants could not email an electronic copy of the application as a substitute; submissions had to go through the designated electronic system. The announcement also notes that the short description provided is only a synopsis, and that the controlling details are in the official Federal Register notice. That official notice is where applicants would find the full requirements, including any priorities, performance measures, formatting rules, pre-application or application components, submission instructions, and other compliance expectations.
For help with access to the full announcement or systems issues, the notice listed a federal contact for technical support through Grants.gov and e-application systems (Julius Cotton, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). The program contact for grant content questions was Loretta McDaniel at the U.S. Department of Education (telephone 202-245-7870), located at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Potomac Center Plaza, room 10080, Washington, DC 20202-6450.
