Opportunity Information: Apply for HE125425R5000

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Grants to Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs and the World Language Advancement and Readiness Program" (Funding Opportunity Number HE125425R5000; CFDA 12.556). The purpose of this competition is to fund academic, student support, and world language-related initiatives in school systems that serve military-connected students. DoDEA expects to make multiple awards, but the number of grants ultimately funded depends on the availability of appropriated funds and the quality of applications received.

Eligible applicants are independent school districts (local educational agencies). Awards are expected to be substantial, with individual grant amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The final award amount for any applicant is not automatic; it is tied to eligibility conditions and the specific requirements laid out in the full announcement, meaning applicants should pay close attention to how allowable activities, budgets, and program scope align with DoDEA's rules.

The grant period is designed for multi-year implementation. Each funded project will run from September 30, 2025 through May 31, 2030, providing nearly five years for planning, rollout, and sustained execution of proposed services and programming. Applicants selected for funding will receive award notification no later than September 30, 2025, which is also the start date of the period of performance.

Applications must be submitted by the original closing date of April 18, 2025. DoDEA requires prospective applicants to complete the mandatory federal forms and submit a project narrative following the instructions in the announcement. In practical terms, that means applicants should be prepared to clearly describe their proposed program design, target population (with emphasis on military-connected students), implementation timeline, staffing and partnerships, measurable outcomes, and a budget that matches both the program plan and the funding limits.

  • The DoD Education Activity in the education sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Grants to Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs and the World Language Advancement and Readiness Program" and is now available to receive applicants.
  • Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 12.556.
  • This funding opportunity was created on 2025-01-17.
  • Applicants must submit their applications by 2025-04-18. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
  • Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $2,000,000.00 in funding.
  • Eligible applicants include: Independent school districts.
