About this program
The Department of Education Advisory Committee for Student Financial Assistance funds Formula Grants under the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) program, CFDA 84.069, to provide states with financial assistance to eligible postsecondary students; the most recent grant award was disbursed July 6, 2010.
This program is no longer active. The last awards were made in July 2010, more than 16 years ago. No recent grant opportunities have been posted. The portfolio shows grant activity spanning 2001 to 2010, with award volume rising from 91 grants in 2006 to a peak of 172 in 2010 before the program ceased.
The program funded state-level financial assistance mechanisms for postsecondary education through two related vehicles: the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) program and the Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (SLEAP) program, both structured as Formula Grants. Awards were distributed across all 50 states and US territories on a formula basis, as evidenced by the July 2010 award cohort showing individual state allocations ranging from under $3 thousand to roughly $5 million.
All 1,057 awards across the program's history were Formula Grants, funded exclusively by the Department of Education. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $587.1 million over the program's operational period. Recent awards from the final 2010 cycle illustrate the scale: a $5.01 million LEAP grant to one state, a $1.95 million SLEAP award, and smaller allocations under $250 thousand to states with lower postsecondary populations or less institutional capacity.
Given the program's dormancy since 2010 and absence of any recent solicitations or awards, pursuit under this Assistance Listing is not viable for new applicants.
