Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Education Demonstration Grants for Indian Children (CFDA 84.299A) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Education to support projects that strengthen educational outcomes for Indian children from preschool through 12th grade. The core idea behind the program is practical: fund efforts that do more than just provide services in the short term. Grantees are expected to develop, test, and demonstrate approaches that can be shown to work, with the broader goal of improving educational opportunities and academic achievement for Indian students. In other words, the program is aimed at innovation and evidence of effectiveness, not simply maintaining existing activities.
Funding under this opportunity was projected at about $3,118,000 total, with an estimated 13 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants generally are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity is categorized under Education, uses the grant funding instrument, and is listed as a discretionary competition (meaning awards are made through a competitive review process rather than by formula).
Eligibility is relatively broad within the Indian education landscape. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies and local educational agencies (including charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law), Indian tribes, Indian organizations, federally supported elementary or secondary schools serving Indian students (including Bureau of Indian Education funded schools), Indian institutions (including Indian institutions of higher education), and consortia made up of any combination of these eligible entities. This structure is designed to allow schools, tribal governments, and Indian-serving organizations to apply directly or partner together, depending on what makes the most sense for the proposed demonstration project.
Applications for this grant competition had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. The notice emphasizes that applications must be uploaded and submitted through the Grants.gov system and cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search for 84.299 rather than 84.299A). For technical issues, the Grants.gov Helpdesk was provided as the main support channel.
