Opportunity Summary:

The Native Hawaiian Education Program (NHE), CFDA 84.362A, is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education to support innovative projects that improve and expand educational services for Native Hawaiian children and adults. The central goal is to strengthen learning opportunities and outcomes for Native Hawaiians through new or enhanced programs, and the notice points applicants to activities authorized under section 7205(a)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended. In practical terms, this competition is designed to fund efforts that meaningfully address educational needs in Native Hawaiian communities, including initiatives connected to Native Hawaiian language instruction and other culturally grounded approaches where appropriate.

Funding for this competition was estimated at $10,784,000 total, with an expected 25 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted February 24, 2012, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications set for April 24, 2012. The listing is archived as of May 24, 2012, indicating it reflects a specific past competition cycle, but it still provides a clear picture of the program purpose, who typically qualifies, and how the Department structured submissions for that round.

Eligibility is aimed at organizations with demonstrated connection to and experience serving Native Hawaiian education needs. Eligible applicants include Native Hawaiian educational organizations, Native Hawaiian community-based organizations, and public or private nonprofit organizations, agencies, and institutions that have experience developing or operating Native Hawaiian programs or providing instruction in the Native Hawaiian language. Consortia made up of these types of entities are also eligible, allowing partnerships across schools, nonprofits, and community organizations when that structure strengthens capacity and impact. The notice emphasizes that the official source for definitive eligibility details is the Federal Register application notice, and applicants are expected to rely on that official document for the full requirements and any competition-specific priorities.

Applications under CFDA 84.362A were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. A key procedural detail is that applicants needed to search for the application package using the base CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for "84.362" rather than "84.362A" in Grants.gov. The opportunity identifies the Grants.gov Helpdesk as the primary technical support channel for submission issues (phone 1-800-518-4726; email support@grants.gov). For program or announcement access questions, the notice lists Department of Education contacts, including Joyce Mays (Management Analyst, 202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov) and Program Manager Joanne Osborne (202-401-1265), with an office address at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202.

Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a federal investment in locally driven, culturally informed education solutions for Native Hawaiian learners across age groups, with eligibility focused on organizations that can demonstrate credible experience delivering Native Hawaiian-focused educational services, including language-based instruction. For any organization considering a similar competition, the most important takeaways are the program mission (innovative improvements to services for Native Hawaiian students and adults), the typical scale (multiple awards under a multi-million-dollar total pool), the lack of a matching requirement, the emphasis on eligible community and nonprofit entities with relevant experience, and the requirement to use Grants.gov procedures exactly as specified in the official Federal Register notice.
