Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 022719 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) Program, CFDA 84.215J, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help schools become hubs that connect students and families with a coordinated set of academic, social, and health-related supports. The program is authorized under sections 4621-4623 and 4625 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as updated by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Its central goal is to fund the planning, implementation, and ongoing operation of full-service community schools, with a clear emphasis on improving how services are coordinated, integrated, and made accessible so they are more effective for children and families. The opportunity specifically highlights serving students in high-poverty schools, including high-poverty rural schools, reflecting a focus on communities where wraparound supports can address barriers that often interfere with learning and well-being.
In practical terms, the grant supports efforts to build stronger partnerships between schools and community-based organizations so that services are not fragmented or difficult to navigate. Instead of families having to search for help across multiple disconnected providers, the full-service community school approach aims to bring services together around the school, making them easier to access and more aligned with what students actually need. While the public synopsis does not list every allowable activity, the program’s framing makes clear that funded projects should improve the overall delivery system of supports by strengthening coordination, integration, and access, rather than offering isolated one-off programs.
Eligibility, as summarized in the opportunity data, includes nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with additional eligible applicants referenced under an “Others (see text)” category that requires consulting the official Federal Register notice for the exact definitions and conditions. Because eligibility details can include important nuances (such as required partnerships, eligible school types, or lead applicant requirements), applicants are directed to rely on the official application notice published in the Federal Register as the controlling source.
Key logistics for this specific competition include a posting/availability date of February 27, 2019, a deadline for submitting a notice of intent to apply on March 18, 2019, and a final deadline for transmittal of applications on April 15, 2019. The Department also referenced a pre-application webinar, with details hosted on the FSCS program website. The estimated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $2,500,000, and the Department anticipated making about 8 awards under this competition, which signals a competitive selection process where proposals likely needed to be well-developed and clearly aligned to the program’s purpose and any published priorities.
Administrative requirements and submission procedures are tied to the Department of Education’s Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003). The synopsis repeatedly stresses that the brief description is not a substitute for the official notice and encourages applicants to review the Federal Register announcement for critical details such as: precise eligibility rules; pre-application and application requirements; how and where to submit materials; performance measures and reporting expectations; and any competitive priorities or selection criteria that would shape how applications are scored. The overarching takeaway is that this grant is meant to help communities build or expand the community school model in high-need settings by making student and family supports more coordinated and effective through the school as an organizing center.Apply for ED GRANTS 022719 001
