Immigrant Education

The Department of Education funded the Immigrant Education program (CFDA 84.162) through emergency immigrant education grants, with the most recent grant awards dated July 17, 2001—no current grant opportunities are present in the source. This program is inactive and not worth pursuing.

The grant award portfolio reflects a single funding cycle in 2001 with 47 formula grants distributed between June and July 2001, obligating $148.8 million in federal dollars. No grant awards have been disbursed since 2001, representing a 25-year gap. The Department of Education was the sole funding agency across all 47 awards. All awards under this program took the form of formula grants with completion dates of September 30, 2002.

Recent awards illustrate the distribution and scope: Formula Grant T162A010002 obligated $32.1 million, Formula Grant T162A010035 obligated $19.6 million, and Formula Grant T162A010028 obligated $20.4 million. Awards ranged from as low as $17,874 to as high as $32.1 million, with the portfolio suggesting distribution across multiple state and local recipients focused on emergency immigrant education services. Individual award completion dates indicate these were time-limited, one-year grants.

The source contains no information regarding whether this program remains open to new applicants, whether future funding cycles are planned, or whether the program continues under active administration. The 25-year absence of award activity and the completion of all known grants in 2002 indicate this program is no longer disbursing funds. Organizations should confirm current program status with the Department of Education before investing business development effort.
