Formula Grant S424A260012

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $6.693 million to the Hawaii State Department of Education on July 1, 2026, under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program (CFDA 84.424).

The award funds activities to improve student academic achievement by increasing the capacity of Hawaii's state educational agency and local educational agencies to provide students with access to a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and improve the use of technology to enhance academic achievement and digital literacy. The Hawaii State Department of Education, operating through its Office of Fiscal Services Division, administers the grant and is required to reserve at least 95 percent of the allocation for subgrants to local educational agencies and local schools, with no more than 1 percent available for state administrative costs. Local educational agencies receiving allocations of $30,000 or more must dedicate not less than 20 percent of their funds to well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than 20 percent to activities supporting safe and healthy students, and a portion to effective use of technology.

Performance takes place in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a period of performance through September 30, 2027. The Hawaii State Department of Education functions as a pass-through entity, distributing portions of this and other federal grants to local school districts, charter schools, community organizations, universities, and nonprofit partners to implement direct educational services across Hawaii's public education system, which serves approximately 180,000 students across 256 schools statewide.
