Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 020819 002
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), CFDA 84.149A, is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is geared toward supporting eligible migrant and seasonal farmworker students who have been admitted to, or are already enrolled full-time in, an institution of higher education (IHE), with the specific goal of helping them successfully complete their first academic year of college. In practice, this first-year focus is important because it targets the transition period when many students face the biggest academic, financial, and social hurdles that can derail persistence.
The public description provided for this opportunity is a synopsis rather than the full set of official requirements. The Department emphasizes that the controlling details, including eligibility rules, application requirements, competitive priorities, performance measures, and program contacts, are contained in the formal application notice published in the Federal Register. Applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register version for definitive guidance and to use the Department of Education's Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003) for standardized directions on how to obtain, complete, and submit an application.
In terms of who can apply, the eligible applicant pool is broad across higher education and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (as clarified in the official notice), and other applicants as described in the additional eligibility information referenced in the announcement. This structure allows both colleges and universities as well as mission-aligned community organizations to compete, depending on the specific eligibility conditions laid out in the official notice.
Key timeline details are clearly stated. Applications were made available on February 8, 2019, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on April 9, 2019. The intergovernmental review deadline was June 10, 2019, reflecting the additional coordination period that can apply under federal intergovernmental review processes. To help prospective applicants prepare, the Department scheduled a pre-application workshop delivered as a webinar on February 20, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, giving interested organizations a chance to hear guidance and ask questions before submitting.
On anticipated funding levels, the notice lists an award ceiling of $425,000 and an expectation of 12 awards. While the announcement does not state the total program allocation in the provided text, these figures indicate a competitive national competition with a limited number of funded projects and a maximum award size that applicants should treat as an upper boundary for budgeting purposes. As with most Department of Education discretionary grants, applicants would typically be expected to propose a project design and budget aligned to required activities, evidence expectations, and reporting or performance measures described in the Federal Register notice.
Overall, this CAMP funding opportunity is centered on improving first-year college completion for eligible migrant students by funding institutions and organizations that can deliver structured supports. Anyone considering applying would need to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the definitive eligibility definitions (including who qualifies as an "eligible person"), required services or activities, selection criteria, priorities, and the exact application submission procedures, since the summary explicitly notes that it does not replace the official notice.Apply for ED GRANTS 020819 002
