Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education Title III Alaska Native Serving Institutions Program (CFDA 84.031N) is a U.S. Department of Education grant opportunity designed to strengthen eligible colleges and universities that serve Alaska Native students. The central goal is capacity building: helping institutions become more self-sufficient and better able to serve low-income students by improving academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability. The program is authorized under Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and applicants are directed to Section 317 of the HEA for the specific list of allowable activities that can be supported with grant funds. For fiscal year 2010, the program combined two funding streams: about $15.084 million in discretionary funds under Title III, Part A, Section 317, plus an additional $15 million in mandatory funds under Title III, Part F, Section 371.
This opportunity was posted June 14, 2010, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 14, 2010. The award instrument type is listed as cooperative agreement/grant, and it falls under the Education funding activity category. The notice projected about 13 awards and listed an estimated total funding level of $13,075,000 for this competition, with an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning applicants should expect some level of required match as described in the official Federal Register notice and associated program regulations.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education that qualify as eligible institutions under the Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian (ANNH) programs and meet the broader Title III, Part A eligibility framework. For the Alaska Native Serving Institutions program specifically, an institution must have an undergraduate enrollment that is at least 20 percent Alaska Native at the time of application. The notice also references the Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions program threshold (at least 10 percent Native Hawaiian undergraduate enrollment), mainly because both programs share application submission requirements and are addressed together in parts of the notice. Beyond the population-served threshold, an institution must meet the standard Title III, Part A requirements, including being accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency that the Secretary recognizes, being legally authorized by the state to operate as a junior college or to provide education leading to a bachelor’s degree, and being designated as eligible by demonstrating both (1) an enrollment of needy students (as defined in 34 CFR 607.3) and (2) low average educational and general expenditures per full-time equivalent undergraduate student (as defined in 34 CFR 607.4).
The notice also spells out important restrictions related to overlapping federal institutional strengthening grants. A current Title V Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) grantee cannot receive a grant under any Title III, Part A program, including this one, and cannot relinquish an HSI grant just to pursue a Title III, Part A award. An institution that is eligible for HSI but is not currently an HSI grantee may apply to multiple programs for which it is eligible, but if selected, it may receive only one grant. Similarly, an eligible institution that submits more than one application in a fiscal year is limited to receiving only one individual development grant or one cooperative arrangement development grant, and the Department will not award a second cooperative arrangement development grant to an institution that already has one for the same award year.
Awards are described as being made in rank order based on peer review, with applications scored by a panel of three readers. The Department indicates it will make five-year awards for individual development grants, five-year awards for cooperative arrangement development grants, and two-year awards for renovation grants, each drawn from separate funding slates and funded according to rank order within those slates.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education’s e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that applicants enter data online into a database and that applicants may not submit an electronic copy of the application by email. Because the summary provided is only a synopsis, applicants are instructed to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the controlling details, including precise eligibility rules, application content and formatting, required forms, priorities, performance measures, submission procedures, and contact information.
