Description |
| Charter Schools Program State Educational Agency (SEA) Grants |
84.282A |
This program provides funds to plan and start new charter schools and disseminate information about existing charters in states with charter school laws. The U.S. Department of Education makes grants directly to a state’s department of education (or comparable state department), which then subgrants the funds to charter schools within its state. This program receives the largest portion of any CSP grant competition. |
| Charter Schools Program Non-State Educational Agency (non-SEA) Grants |
84.282B |
This program allows individual charter schools to apply directly to the Department for start-up funds. Applicants must be from charter schools in states in which the SEA does not have an approved application from CSP under 84.282A (or will not have an approved application under 84.282A) as of the start date for the grant.
