Opportunity Summary:
The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) State Educational Agencies (SEAs) competition, CFDA 84.293C, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen foreign language education for students in kindergarten through grade 12. The core aim is to fund innovative model programs that help a state establish new foreign language offerings, improve existing instruction, or expand access and participation. A key feature of this competition is its emphasis on systemic improvement, meaning an SEA that receives funding is expected to use grant dollars in ways that influence foreign language learning across the state, not just in a single classroom or isolated district. Applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the full details on eligibility rules, application requirements, priorities, performance measures, and other submission instructions.
Eligibility is limited to State Educational Agencies. The program anticipates making about six awards, with an estimated total funding level of $900,000 and an award ceiling of $250,000 per grant. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants must plan for non-federal contributions as part of the overall project budget and design.
The application process is electronic only. Applications must be submitted through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes clear that applicants cannot email an electronic copy of the application to the Department; instead, all required information must be entered and submitted through the online system, where it is saved into a database during preparation.
Key dates for this FY 2010 competition were: applications became available March 23, 2010; the deadline for a Notice of Intent to Apply was April 7, 2010; and the deadline for transmittal (submission) of full applications was April 22, 2010. While the Notice of Intent to Apply is requested, it is not mandatory for eligibility; the Department states it will still consider an application submitted by the deadline even if the SEA did not send the intent notice. For the intent notice, applicants were asked to email Yvonne Mathieu (Yvonne.Mathieu@ed.gov) with the subject line "84.293C FLAP SEA Intent to Apply" and include the SEA name and the proposed language(s) of instruction.
