Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 022520 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Migrant Education Program (MEP) Consortium Incentive Grant (CIG) Program, CFDA 84.144F, is a U.S. Department of Education grant opportunity designed to strengthen how states work together to serve migratory children, especially when students move frequently and their schooling is disrupted. The core idea is to provide incentive funding to State educational agencies (SEAs) that already receive Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program funds, encouraging them to form or participate in strong, well-organized consortia. These consortia may involve partnerships with one or more other SEAs and, where appropriate, additional entities, with the goal of improving the delivery of migrant education services through better coordination across districts and state lines.
The purpose of the program centers on improving both intrastate and interstate coordination of migrant education efforts. Because migratory children can experience interrupted instruction, gaps in coursework, delayed credit accrual, and difficulty accessing consistent support services, the program emphasizes collaborative approaches that reduce fragmentation and improve continuity. By funding high-quality consortium work, the Department aims to promote shared solutions that address key needs of migratory students, such as smoother record transfer, aligned academic supports, coordinated recruitment and identification practices, and more consistent service delivery when students move between regions or states.
This opportunity was listed as a mandatory grant funding instrument within the education funding activity category, under Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 022520 001. Applications were made available on February 28, 2020, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of April 27, 2020, and an intergovernmental review deadline of June 24, 2020. The anticipated award structure included an award ceiling of $250,000, with an estimated 30 awards expected. While the eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," the description clarifies that the program is intended to support SEAs that receive Title I, Part C MEP funding and that participate in consortia with other SEAs and/or appropriate partner entities, so applicants would need to confirm the exact eligibility requirements in the official Federal Register notice.
The public synopsis also repeatedly notes that it is only a summary of the official application notice published in the Federal Register, and that applicants should rely on that official notice for the definitive rules and instructions. That includes specifics on eligibility, required application components, priorities, performance measures, submission procedures, and any pre-application expectations. It also directs applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768) for standardized guidance on how to obtain and submit an application and where to send materials.
