Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 010917 002
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) High School Equivalency Program (HEP), CFDA 84.141A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to support programs that help migrant and seasonal farmworkers, as well as members of their immediate family, complete a high school equivalency (HSE) credential and then successfully move into the next step of their lives. The program is centered on two core outcomes: first, helping eligible participants obtain a general education diploma or HSE credential that aligns with the standards and guidelines set by the state where the HEP project operates; and second, helping those participants transition into employment or placement in an institution of higher education (IHE) or another postsecondary education or training program. In practical terms, HEP funding is meant to back organizations that can deliver instruction, preparation, and support services that lead directly to an HSE completion and a concrete post-program placement.
This competition (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 010917 002) falls under the education funding activity category and uses the grant instrument type. The opportunity description provided is explicitly a summary of what appears in the official Federal Register application notice, and applicants are directed to rely on that Federal Register notice for the authoritative requirements. That official notice is where an applicant would find the detailed rules that govern eligibility nuances, the full set of application instructions, any absolute or competitive priorities, required performance measures, and the program contact information. The synopsis also points readers to free access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through the Government Publishing Office website listed in the notice, reinforcing that the controlling guidance is the published federal notice rather than a secondary summary.
Eligible applicants are broad enough to include multiple kinds of capable education and service providers. The listed eligible entities include 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 (as long as they are not IHEs), and other applicants as described in the official eligibility clarification text referenced in the notice. This structure is typical of programs that may be housed at colleges and universities but also allows community-based nonprofits and other organizations with strong ties to migrant and seasonal farmworker communities to apply, assuming they meet the program rules in the official announcement.
The application process is electronic-only through Grants.gov. Applicants are required to submit via the governmentwide Grants.gov "Apply" site, which involves downloading the application package, completing it offline, and uploading it back into the system for submission. The notice is clear that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. It also includes a small but important technical instruction for locating the correct package: applicants must search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for "84.141" rather than "84.141A" to find the downloadable application for this competition.
Key timing details in the synopsis indicate that applications were made available on January 9, 2017, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of March 10, 2017. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $475,000 and anticipates making approximately 3 awards, suggesting a relatively competitive national competition with a small number of funded projects and sizable individual grant amounts. Since it is a discretionary grant and the synopsis emphasizes performance measures and other compliance expectations, applicants would generally need to demonstrate not only a strong plan for HSE attainment but also a credible approach to postsecondary or employment placement, data tracking, and accountability aligned to the Department's required measures as described in the official notice.
Overall, this HEP grant opportunity is aimed at organizations that can bridge adult education and workforce/postsecondary transitions for migrant and seasonal farmworker populations, delivering instruction and wraparound support that culminates in an HSE credential and a measurable next-step placement. The synopsis repeatedly signals that any organization considering applying should work directly from the Federal Register application notice to ensure it meets all requirements, follows the correct submission procedures, and aligns its proposed outcomes and reporting plan with the program's expectations.Apply for ED GRANTS 010917 002
