Electronic Submission:
The Department strongly prefers to receive an SEA’s FY 2015 and FY 2016 SIG application electronically. The application should be sent as a Microsoft Word document, not as a PDF.
The SEA should submit its FY 2015 and FY 2016 application to its individual state mailbox address at (OSS.[State]@ed.gov).
In addition, the SEA must submit a paper copy of the cover page signed by the SEA’s authorized representative to the address listed below under “Paper Submission.”
Paper Submission:
If an SEA is not able to submit the SIG application electronically, it may submit the original and two copies of the application to the following address:
Michael Wells, Group Leader
Office of State Support, OESE
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave, SW, Room 3W103
Washington, DC 20202-6132
Due to potential delays in government processing of mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service, SEAs are encouraged to use alternate carriers for paper submissions.
Application Deadline:
Applications are due on or before (May 27, 2016).
