About this program

The Department of Education administered the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) — Education State Grants under Assistance Listing 84.394, a recovery-act program that distributed $39.72 billion to support and restore funding for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education and early childhood education programs in states and local educational agencies. The most recent grant award was disbursed on June 2, 2010, making this program inactive for pursuit.

The program operated exclusively as Formula Grants, with 57 total awards distributed between April and June 2009 and into mid-2010. The Department of Education was the sole funding agency. Award activity was front-loaded: 54 awards were made in 2009, with only 3 awards in 2010. All awarded grants carried ultimate completion dates of September 30, 2010, indicating a time-limited appropriation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Representative recent awards illustrate the scale of this stabilization effort: Formula Grant S394A090005 obligated $4.87 billion (April 17, 2009); Formula Grant S394A090044 obligated $3.25 billion (July 9, 2009); and Formula Grant S394A090036 obligated $1.46 billion (June 8, 2009). These mega-awards were distributed to individual states as formula-based allocations. A smaller representative award, Formula Grant S394A090056, obligated $58.04 million (April 7, 2010).

No recent grant opportunities are currently posted under this program. The funding cycle closed in 2010, and no new solicitations have been issued. This program is a closed recovery-act vehicle and not a current source for new federal education funding.
