About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is issuing a Request for Grant Applications (RFA S-58100-00012432) for the Immigrant/Refugee Student Success Plan (SSP) Grant, specifically targeting Multnomah County. This competitive grant opportunity is exclusively available to current 2024-2028 Student Success Plan Grantees, seeking to implement comprehensive strategies for supporting immigrant and refugee students from early childhood through post-secondary education. The grant aims to address critical educational challenges by focusing on four key goals: creating safe and welcoming school environments, increasing academic rigor, enhancing social-emotional well-being, and strengthening family partnerships. Applicants must submit a detailed project plan by March 10, 2025, outlining specific activities that reduce disciplinary incidents, increase parent engagement, support student transitions, implement culturally responsive practices, and improve academic outcomes. The application requires comprehensive documentation, including a Partnership Form (Attachment D), Project Budget (Attachment F), Project Activities Table, and must be submitted through a Smartsheet link by February 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM PST. Evaluation will likely focus on the clarity of proposed activities, alignment with statutory objectives, and potential impact on immigrant and refugee student success.

Eligible respondents are limited to specific types of organizations, including community-based organizations, culturally specific organizations, early learning hubs, educational providers, school districts, education service districts, charter schools, tribal governments, and post-secondary institutions. The grant provides up to $50,000 per recipient from ODE's General Fund, with strict financial constraints: direct administrative costs are capped at 10% of the total grant amount, and indirect costs range from 5% for educational institutions to 15% for community organizations. Organizations must target "Recent Arrivers" - students aged 3-21 who were not born in the United States and have attended U.S. schools for less than three full academic years. The funding is part of Oregon's Student Success Act, which allocates over $2 billion in education funding every two years. Reporting requirements include monthly participation in SSP Community of Practice meetings, expenditure reports, and a final report due by August 1, 2025. The grant period runs from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, with a focus on supporting student populations that have historically demonstrated lower academic achievement rates.
