Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), CFDA 84.149A, is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to help migrant and seasonal farmworkers, and members of their immediate families, succeed during the critical transition into college. The central aim of CAMP is very specific: provide academic and financial support that helps eligible students complete their first year of postsecondary education and stay on track to continue in college beyond that first year. In practice, this means funding projects that reduce common barriers faced by migrant students, especially around early college persistence, basic needs, and navigating a new academic environment.
This opportunity was posted December 16, 2013, with applications made available December 19, 2013, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of February 19, 2014. The Department anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,869,853 and an award ceiling of $425,000 per grant. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed for this competition, which matters for applicants that may not have flexible institutional funds to meet a match.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status as well as 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 the IHEs facilities. In other words, the program expects the services and supports funded by CAMP to be closely connected to a college setting and coordinated with the institution where students will be studying.
Applications for CAMP under CFDA 84.149A were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply system. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning applicants should search for 84.149 rather than 84.149A. The notice also makes clear that submitting an application by email is not allowed; the submission must go through Grants.gov, with the application completed offline and then uploaded to the system.
The published description emphasizes that the funding opportunity summary is only a synopsis and that the official requirements and full details are in the Federal Register notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2014. That Federal Register notice is the controlling document for things like required application components, submission rules, performance measures, priorities, and any pre-application guidance. Applicants are directed to use free public access to the Federal Register and relevant regulations through the Government Publishing Office resources referenced in the announcement.
