Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 010917 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), CFDA 84.149A, is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is designed to help migrant and seasonal farmworkers, as well as members of their immediate families, successfully complete their first year of college and stay on track to continue in postsecondary education. In practice, CAMP funding supports a combination of academic services and financial assistance meant to reduce the barriers these students often face when transitioning into higher education, with an emphasis on persistence beyond the first year.
This competition was posted under Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 010917 001 and falls under the education funding activity category. The application window opened January 9, 2017, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of March 10, 2017. The notice makes clear that the funding opportunity description provided in postings like this is only a synopsis, and that applicants are expected to rely on the official application notice published in the Federal Register for the complete and controlling requirements. That official notice is where applicants would find the detailed rules on eligibility, required application components, submission instructions, performance measures, any absolute or competitive priorities, and the program contact information. The posting also points applicants to free access to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations through the Government Publishing Office site.
In terms of who may apply, the eligible applicant categories are fairly broad within the higher education and nonprofit space. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (that are not institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also not institutions of higher education), and a category labeled "Others" with the note to consult the opportunitys additional eligibility information for clarification. The intent is to allow colleges and universities, and in some cases partner organizations, to compete to operate CAMP projects that directly serve eligible students.
Awards under this competition had an award ceiling of $425,000, with an expectation of 11 awards. While the synopsis does not lay out the scoring rubric or specific required activities, the stated purpose signals the kinds of services projects typically provide under CAMP: targeted academic support during the first-year transition, advising and other student success services, and financial support that can help cover costs that might otherwise prevent continued enrollment. The overall objective is not simply access to college, but first-year completion and continued progress in postsecondary education for students from migrant and seasonal farmworker backgrounds.
Application submission is required to be electronic through Grants.gov. Applicants must use the Grants.gov "Apply" workflow to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system. The notice explicitly states that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. A small but important procedural detail is also included about how to find the application package: applicants must search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for 84.149 rather than 84.149A, to locate the correct downloadable package in Grants.gov.
Because this posting is only a synopsis, anyone preparing an application would need to review the Federal Register notice carefully to confirm the most important compliance details, including the precise definition of an eligible CAMP participant, the allowable and unallowable uses of grant funds, reporting and performance measurement requirements, formatting and page limits, any required assurances, and any program priorities that could affect competitiveness.Apply for ED GRANTS 010917 001
