Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (U.S. Department of Education) announced a discretionary grant competition for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), CFDA 84.149A. The program is designed to improve college access and early persistence for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their children by providing both academic and financial support specifically aimed at helping participants successfully complete their first year of college. In practice, this means funded projects are expected to combine direct student support (such as advising, tutoring, orientation, and other first-year success services) with financial assistance that reduces the barriers that often prevent eligible students from enrolling full time and staying enrolled through the first academic year.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system (via the e-Grants website), with the Department emphasizing that applicants could not email an electronic copy of the application package. The original Federal Register notice invited applications for FY 2010 and initially listed a February 16, 2010 submission deadline. However, because the e-Application system was scheduled to be unavailable for a system update from February 10 through February 15, 2010, the Department extended the deadline for transmittal of applications to February 19, 2010. Along with that change, the deadline for intergovernmental review was adjusted to April 19, 2010. The opportunity was posted December 15, 2009, and the archive date listed is March 21, 2010.
Funding details in the synopsis indicate an estimated total funding amount of $4,082,057 with an expectation of about 10 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $180,000 (award floor) up to $425,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). The eligibility language also clarifies that projects may be proposed by institutions of higher education (IHEs) or by private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, as long as the project is planned in cooperation with an IHE and proposes to operate some aspects of the project using IHE facilities. This cooperation requirement signals that the program is intended to be closely connected to the college campus environment where participants will enroll, making it easier to deliver integrated academic and student support services during the critical first year.
For official requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions, the Department directs applicants to rely on the Federal Register application notice as the authoritative source, noting that the synopsis is only a summary. The announcement also provides points of contact for help with the electronic submission system and for programmatic questions. Technical access issues could be directed to Julius Cotton (ED/Grants.gov system administration), while program questions could be addressed to program managers in the Office of Migrant Education, including David De Soto and Tara Ramsey, with phone numbers and email addresses provided in the notice.
