Opportunity Summary:
The High School Equivalency Program (HEP), CFDA 84.141A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, focused on improving educational and economic outcomes for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their immediate family members. The central goal is to help eligible participants earn a high school equivalency credential (described in the notice as a GED that aligns with the high school equivalency requirements set by the state where the project operates). Beyond supporting completion of the equivalency credential itself, the program also emphasizes concrete next steps after completion, specifically helping participants move into employment or transition into college or other postsecondary education or training options.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (IHEs) and private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, as long as the proposed project is planned in cooperation with an IHE and includes operating some parts of the project using IHE facilities. The listing also notes eligible nonprofit categories such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than IHEs) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than IHEs), reinforcing that the program is designed for organizations with the capacity to deliver structured education and support services in collaboration with higher education partners.
For this competition cycle, the opportunity was posted on November 29, 2010, with applications available the same day. The deadline to submit applications was January 19, 2011, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was March 21, 2011. The Department estimated total funding at $4,629,000 and anticipated making about 11 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was listed as $475,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated in the notice, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award, although applicants could still choose to leverage additional resources as part of their project design.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the notice is explicit that applicants could not submit an application by emailing it to the Department. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search 84.141 rather than 84.141A). The process described involves downloading the application package, completing it offline, and then uploading and submitting it through Grants.gov. Support for technical issues was directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
The notice also stresses that the funding opportunity description provided is only a synopsis and that the authoritative requirements, definitions, and detailed instructions are contained in the official Federal Register application notice. The Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations were referenced as publicly accessible through GPO Access (as listed in the notice). For program and application-related questions, the announcement provides agency contacts including Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, and program staff including David De Soto at 202-260-8103 and david.de.soto@ed.gov, as well as Tara Ramsey at 202-260-2063 (email shown in the notice).
