About the company
Highline College, a state government educational institution headquartered in Des Moines, Washington, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on STEM education research, faculty development, and student support services. The college does not hold prime federal contracts but serves as an academic partner on NSF-funded curriculum design and teaching-innovation projects and receives TRIO student support grants from the Department of Education. Recent federal activity comprises 51 prime awards (85% of recent activity) and 9 sub-awards (15%), concentrated in educational grants rather than procurement contracts; a single BPA with the Federal Detention Center SeaTak for flagger certification training ($26,488, BPA 15B61126A00000063) represents the college's minimal contract footprint.
The National Science Foundation and the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education dominate Highline's customer base. NSF awards span curriculum and faculty-development projects under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), including a $489,156 grant (July 2026–June 2029) for evidence-based team-learning interventions in two-year college STEM classrooms, a $194,973 award (October 2026–September 2029) to expand the Math Your Earth Science Majors Need modules across 60 instructors and 1,800 students, and participation in conference and virtual-workshop initiatives supporting two-year college geoscience and STEM faculty networks. The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education funds TRIO Student Support Services ($272,364 for 2025–2026) and Talent Search (September 2022–August 2026) grants that deliver targeted student support, retention, and transfer-pathway services to disadvantaged, first-generation, and low-income students. A third NSF grant ($211,083, December 2022–November 2025) supported curriculum development on quantitative skills for earth science majors, delivered as open educational resources on the Science Education Resource Center platform.
Highline's grant portfolio reflects 60 total awards across prime and sub-award roles, with $117 thousand in combined potential value but $697.6 million in combined dollars obligated, indicating historical grant-renewal cycles spanning decades. Awards per year have grown from 2 in 2022 to 8 in 2026. The college serves as a sub-recipient on federal grants anchored by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (Adult Basic Education workforce development) and Washington State University (Small Business Development Center advising). Two awards reach ultimate completion within twenty-four months. Highline's capacity as a research and development partner centers on faculty professional development, curriculum design, and evidence-based pedagogy in two-year college STEM contexts, with particular strength in supporting underrepresented and nontraditional student populations in quantitative disciplines and team-based learning environments.
