About Lee University
Lee University, a non-profit private institution based in Cleveland, Tennessee, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient in higher education and student support programs, with no federal contract footprint. The institution operates across three distinct federal grant programs administered by the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education and the National Science Foundation, positioning itself as an institutional capacity builder rather than a vendor of goods or services.
Lee University's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the Department of Education. The Office of Postsecondary Education accounts for 12 of 15 prime awards (88% of recent activity), with the National Science Foundation and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Rural Business Cooperative Services representing the remaining customer agencies. Lee's recent grants include a $1.828 million Project Grant under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE, CFDA 84.116) running January 2026 through December 2029 for institutional civil discourse infrastructure development at the Cleveland campus; a $272,364 Project Grant under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) effective September 2025 through August 2026 to deliver the Learn, Engage, and Achieve Program (LEAP) providing academic advising, financial literacy, and peer mentoring to low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities; and a McNair Scholars Program award running October 2022 through September 2026. The institution also participates as a sub-recipient in at least two grant awards, designated as NSGP 2023 sub-awards dated September 2023.
Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined obligated dollars of $54.5 million across all awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete opportunity for renewal or successor funding.
