Opportunity Summary:
The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), CFDA 84.149A, is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (specifically the Office of Migrant Education). The program is designed to improve college access and early persistence for a population that often faces significant barriers to higher education: migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their children. CAMP focuses on the critical transition into postsecondary education by offering structured academic and financial supports aimed at helping participants successfully complete their first year of college and continue enrolling beyond that first year.
The core purpose of CAMP is to provide both academic and financial assistance that reduces common obstacles such as gaps in academic preparation, limited familiarity with college systems, financial insecurity, and challenges linked to mobility and seasonal work patterns. While the notice provided here is a synopsis rather than the full Federal Register announcement, the stated intent is clear: CAMP-funded projects should be built to support students through the first-year experience in ways that increase retention and encourage continued postsecondary progress. In practice, this generally means wraparound support that can include advising, tutoring, mentoring, orientation and transition services, and targeted financial assistance that helps students stay enrolled and engaged.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (both public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education). In addition, private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, may apply if they plan their projects in cooperation with an institution of higher education and propose to operate some aspects of the project using the facilities of the partner institution. This emphasizes that even when a nonprofit is the applicant, the project is expected to be closely integrated with a college or university environment so participants can directly access campus-based resources and services.
For this particular competition cycle, the opportunity was posted on November 29, 2010, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was January 19, 2011, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was March 21, 2011. The estimated total funding amount was $2,841,000, with an award ceiling of $425,000 per grant, and the Department anticipated making 7 awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the notice is explicit that email submission was not permitted. Applicants were instructed to search for the application package using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they needed to search for "84.149" rather than "84.149A." The notice also provides applicant support resources, including the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov), recognizing that electronic submission can involve technical steps and deadlines that applicants must navigate carefully.
For official and legally controlling details, the Department directs applicants to the Federal Register notice, noting that the synopsis is not a substitute for the full published announcement. The notice provides a link to the Federal Register access point and includes specific agency contacts for program and access questions. The contact listed for difficulty accessing the full announcement is Joyce Mays, Management Analyst (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov). The program contact listed is David De Soto, Program Manager, Office of Migrant Education, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 3E344, Washington, DC 20202-6135, telephone (202) 260-8103.
