About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Labor, on behalf of the Department of Education, is soliciting applications to administer the College Assistance Migrant Program, which provides comprehensive support services to migratory and seasonal farmworkers and their immediate family members during their first year of postsecondary education at institutions of higher education (IHEs). Eligible applicants include IHEs as defined under the Higher Education Act and private nonprofit organizations operating in partnership with an IHE. The program requires a minimum annual budget of $180,000 and a five-year project period, with indirect costs capped at 8 percent of modified total direct costs and no cost-sharing requirement. Applications are evaluated on a 100-point scale based on project design quality (up to 55 points), project evaluation quality (up to 20 points), management plan quality (up to 10 points), and resource adequacy (up to 15 points), with an additional 20 competitive preference points available for prior CAMP implementation experience and career pathways alignment. The application deadline is June 12, 2026, with an intergovernmental review deadline of August 11, 2026, and applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov with supporting documentation including a 25-page project narrative, five-year budget narrative, abstract, resumes, and required certifications.
Individual awards will range from $180,000 to $550,000 annually, with a total project period range of $900,000 to $2,750,000 over five years, with an estimated average award of $500,000 per year and 4–5 awards anticipated from $13,014,675 in total available funding. Grantees must achieve performance targets requiring 86 percent of participants to complete their first academic year and 92 percent to continue postsecondary education thereafter. Performance will be monitored through a comprehensive evaluation component, with project records maintained for a minimum of three years, and grants continue subject to availability of funds and demonstrated recipient performance.
