About this program

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds family literacy programs serving migrant families through the Even Start–Migrant Education program (CFDA 84.214), with the most recent grant award made on October 1, 2010. Grant activity has ceased since 2010; no awards have been issued in the past 16 years, and no recent grant opportunities are evident in the source.

The program supports integrated family literacy initiatives that combine early childhood education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting education for migrant populations. Recent awards funded these components as a unified service model rather than as separate tracks.

The portfolio comprises 62 Project Grants totaling $33.3 million in federal obligated funds. Recipients contributed an additional $121.9 million in non-federal matching or cost-share, bringing combined total obligated dollars to $155.2 million. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education was the sole funding source across the entire portfolio. Award activity peaked in 2005 with 26 grants; 2006 brought 11 awards, 2004 had 2 awards, 2009 had 1 award, and 2010 closed the program with 4 final awards. Individual awards typically ranged from roughly $237 thousand to $17.4 million, with representative 2010 awards funding $1.76 million, $2.44 million, and $887 thousand respectively. Notable prior awards included a $17.4 million grant in 2006 and an $11.3 million grant in 2005.

This program is effectively inactive for new applications. Organizations currently pursuing migrant education or family literacy funding should verify whether successor or replacement programs exist within the Department of Education's current portfolio.
