Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) High School Equivalency Program (HEP), CFDA 84.141A, is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education to support projects that help migrant and seasonal farmworkers and members of their immediate families complete a high school equivalency credential and move into employment or further education. The program is designed for people whose work and life circumstances often make it difficult to finish traditional high school, and it focuses on giving participants a realistic, supported pathway to earn an HSE credential that meets the specific guidelines used by the state where the project operates. Beyond the credential itself, HEP also emphasizes next-step outcomes, meaning participants should be supported in gaining employment or being placed into an institution of higher education or other postsecondary education or training.
This particular competition (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 121613 005) was posted on December 16, 2013, with applications becoming available on December 19, 2013. The deadline to submit applications was February 19, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on March 21, 2014. The total estimated funding amount for the competition was $5,855,833, with an award ceiling of $475,000 per grant and an expectation of about 13 awards. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can be important for organizations that have limited unrestricted resources.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations. The eligibility language also indicates that projects should be planned in cooperation with an institution of higher education, and that some aspects of the project are proposed to be operated using IHE facilities. In practice, this means applicants need to show a credible partnership with a college or university and explain how that partnership will be used to deliver services, connect participants to postsecondary pathways, or otherwise strengthen project delivery.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the Department made clear that applications could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for 84.141 rather than 84.141A. The published synopsis also stresses that it is only a summary of the official Federal Register notice, and that applicants needed to rely on the Federal Register for the full requirements, including any priorities, performance measures, submission details, and other compliance instructions.
