Bilingual Education Support Services

The Department of Education administered the Bilingual Education Support Services program (CFDA 84.194) with its most recent grant award issued on October 1, 2001. This program is inactive for business development purposes; no grant awards have been disbursed in the past 25 years, and no recent grant opportunities are available.

The program funded state-based bilingual education support services delivered through Project Grants exclusively. All 53 awards in the portfolio were structured as Project Grants with completion dates between June 2002 and October 2002, indicating a single funding cycle conducted in 2001. The Department of Education was the sole funding source, obligating $8.1 million across the award cohort. Individual award values ranged from $100 thousand to $1.627 million, with most awards clustered at the $100 thousand level. Representative grants included Project Grant T194Q990004 ($1.627 million), Project Grant T194Q010018 ($617 thousand), and Project Grant T194Q010026 ($389 thousand).

Given the 25-year dormancy since the final award date and absence of any posted grant opportunities or recent funding activity, this Assistance Listing should be treated as closed or superseded. Any organization with historical interest in bilingual education funding through federal channels should verify whether the Department of Education has folded this program into a successor initiative or whether bilingual education support is now addressed through alternative grant programs.
