Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 120321 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), through the Office of Migrant Education (OME), offered a discretionary grant competition for the High School Equivalency Program (HEP), listed under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.141A. This opportunity is designed to fund projects that help migratory or seasonal farmworkers, or the immediate family members of those workers, earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. The underlying idea is to remove a major educational barrier for a population that often faces frequent moves, unstable work schedules, and limited access to traditional schooling, and then to connect participants to clear next steps after completion.
The program purpose is tightly focused on outcomes after participants earn a high school equivalency credential. HEP projects are expected not only to support people through preparation and completion of a high school equivalency pathway, but also to help them transition into improved employment opportunities, military service, or placement in an institution of higher education or other postsecondary education or training. In other words, the credential is treated as the gateway, and the program emphasizes what happens next: better job prospects, enlistment opportunities, or enrollment in college or career training.
Eligible applicants included a range of organizations with the capacity to deliver education and support services to the target population. The competition was open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they otherwise meet eligibility requirements), and certain other entities as described in the official notice. This mix reflects the reality that HEP projects are often led by colleges and universities (given their educational infrastructure and access to student supports), but can also be run by community-based nonprofits with deep relationships in farmworker communities.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a grant (not a contract) offered by the U.S. Department of Education. The funding opportunity number was ED GRANTS 120321 001, and the program sits within the Department of Education's broader education funding activity category. The Department indicated an award ceiling of $475,000 per award and anticipated making about 26 awards, suggesting a competitive national competition where proposals would be judged against the requirements and priorities laid out in the Federal Register notice.
Key dates were clearly laid out for prospective applicants. Applications became available on December 6, 2021. The deadline for transmittal of applications was February 1, 2022, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was April 4, 2022. To help applicants prepare, the Department scheduled pre-application workshops delivered as webinars on December 8 and December 9, 2021, both at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, giving prospective applicants two chances to attend and ask questions about the competition.
The public synopsis emphasizes that the authoritative rules and requirements come from the official Federal Register application notice, not from the summary itself. Applicants were directed to review that notice carefully for details that typically decide whether an application is compliant and competitive, including eligibility nuances, pre-application and application requirements, application submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and program contact information. For standard submission directions and addresses, the notice points applicants to the Department's Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768), which serves as the baseline procedural guidance across many Education Department grant competitions.
