About this program
The Department of Education operated the Education Technology State Grants, Recovery Act program (CFDA 84.386) as a one-time funding initiative under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, with all 52 formula grants awarded on February 17, 2009. This program is no longer active and has no open grant opportunities.
The program funded technology infrastructure and integration activities in state education systems, specifically targeting improved student academic achievement through classroom technology deployment, ensuring technological literacy for students by eighth grade, and integrating technology with teacher professional development and curriculum design to establish research-based instructional methods. All recipients were state educational agencies (SEAs) on a formula basis.
The portfolio consisted entirely of Formula Grants, the appropriate vehicle for distributing Recovery Act funds across all states and territories. The Department of Education was the sole funding source, obligating $633.6 million in federal dollars across the 52 awards between February and September 2009, with all grants completing by September 30, 2010.
Award magnitudes varied considerably by recipient size. The largest awards included $70.971 million (Formula Grant S386A090005), $58.126 million (S386A090043), and $53.551 million (S386A090032). Mid-range awards fell in the $20–30 million band, while smaller recipients received awards ranging from $2.7 million to $12.3 million. The variation reflects formula-based distribution weighted by state population and educational need.
No grant awards have been disbursed under this program since 2009. No grant opportunities are currently posted. This program was designed as temporary Recovery Act funding and is no longer accepting applications.
