Title III Immigrant Education Subgrant Program

NOTE: The application due date for this program has passed.

LEAs that do not apply by the deadline will need to wait until the 2014-15 funding cycle to apply for Title III funding.
Funding is made available to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) to provide supplementary programs and services to eligible immigrant students. The purpose of the subgrants is to assist immigrant students to acquire English and achieve grade-level and graduation standards. Note: Recipients and funding amounts are subject to budget and administrative adjustments.
