About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) is seeking grant applications for the Assistance for Arts Education (AAE) Program, focusing on promoting arts education for students, particularly disadvantaged and disabled students. The program aims to support professional development for arts educators, develop accessible instructional materials, and strengthen partnerships among schools, local educational agencies, communities, and arts centers. Eligible applicants include local educational agencies with at least 20% low-income students, state educational agencies, higher education institutions, museums, cultural institutions, and national nonprofit organizations. Applicants will be evaluated based on project design quality, management plan, and resource adequacy, with a maximum possible score of 100 points. The application deadline is August 25, 2025, with applications becoming available on August 11, 2025.
The grant will award discretionary grants totaling $13,000,000, with estimated individual awards ranging from $750,000 to $1,000,000 per year for up to 60 months. The competition includes a competitive priority for eligible national nonprofit organizations and an invitational priority for projects related to patriotic education. Projects will be expected to provide comprehensive arts education initiatives, including professional development, curriculum enhancement, and community outreach activities. The place of performance will vary depending on the specific applicant and project design, but will primarily focus on educational settings serving K-12 students across the United States.
