Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Native Hawaiian Education (NHE) Program, CFDA 84.362A, is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to support innovative projects that improve educational services for Native Hawaiian children and adults. The program is grounded in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, and is designed to fund efforts that strengthen learning opportunities, culturally relevant instruction, and community-driven approaches that address the educational needs of Native Hawaiian learners across age groups. The notice points applicants to section 7205(a)(3) of ESEA for the types of allowable activities, emphasizing that the Federal Register notice is the controlling source for the full set of requirements, priorities, and performance measures.
A notable feature of the FY 2014 competition is that Congress explicitly authorized applicants to use FY 2014 NHE funds for facilities-related work in a specific context. Funds may support the construction, renovation, or modernization of an elementary school, secondary school, or a related structure, as long as the school is operated by the Hawaii Department of Education and serves a predominantly Native Hawaiian student body. This is an important clarification because many education grant programs restrict or prohibit construction, so the FY 2014 authority carved out a targeted allowance for certain school facility projects that directly benefit Native Hawaiian students.
Eligibility is limited to organizations with a clear connection to Native Hawaiian education work. 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 Native Hawaiian language instruction programs. The opportunity also allows consortia made up of these eligible entities, which means applicants can formally partner and apply together when a collaborative approach improves capacity or impact.
From an administrative standpoint, applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the Governmentwide "Apply" process. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search 84.362 rather than 84.362A). The notice also makes clear that applications could not be submitted by email; the required pathway was Grants.gov, where applicants download the package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system.
For this FY 2014 competition, the posting date was February 18, 2014, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was April 21, 2014, and the opportunity was archived May 21, 2014. The Department estimated total funding at $9,540,200 and anticipated making 22 awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for nonprofits and community-based organizations that might otherwise struggle to provide non-federal match.
The official opportunity identifier listed is Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-021814-002, and the agency is the U.S. Department of Education. The notice emphasizes that the funding description provided in the posting is only a synopsis, and applicants should rely on the published Federal Register application notice for authoritative details on eligibility nuances, required components of the application, submission rules, selection criteria, priorities, and performance reporting.
For technical issues accessing the full announcement or navigating the application systems, the notice lists a Grants.gov/FIND support contact (Julius Cotton, 202-245-6288, EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov). Program-specific questions were directed to the program manager, Joanne Osborne, at the U.S. Department of Education (202-401-1265, Joanne.Osborne@ed.gov), located at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-6200.
