Opportunity Information: Apply for HE1254 18 R 9999
The Grants to Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs (MCASP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). The program is focused on helping local public education systems that serve military-connected students strengthen academics and related supports. In practical terms, MCASP funding is intended to back school district initiatives that improve student outcomes for children impacted by military life, which can include frequent moves, transitions between schools, and the social and emotional challenges that sometimes come with a parent or guardian serving in the military.
This particular funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number HE1254 18 R 9999; CFDA 12.556) was created on March 14, 2018, with an original application deadline of May 2, 2018. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education. Eligible applicants are independent school districts (in other words, local educational agencies that operate independently as school districts). DoDEA anticipated making around 30 awards under this competition, with a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $1,250,000 per award, indicating that funded projects could be substantial in scope and impact depending on the applicant district's plan, capacity, and needs.
A key feature highlighted in the opportunity description is applicant support through technical assistance. DoDEA scheduled a webinar for March 28, 2018 to help 2018 applicants prepare stronger proposals. The webinar was to be led by DoDEA's Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center (ETAC) and designed to walk prospective applicants through the structure and expectations of the 2018 grant program. Topics included the program's application goals, recommended strategies, and the kinds of student outcomes applicants should be targeting, along with what awardees would be expected to do for evaluation, reporting, and documenting results over the life of the grant.
To make the guidance accessible and reusable, DoDEA planned to provide supporting materials from the webinar, including a PowerPoint presentation delivered during the session, a recording of the webinar itself, and a transcript of the question-and-answer portion. These resources were to be posted on the DoDEA ETAC website, giving applicants a way to revisit details and clarify common questions while drafting their proposals. Overall, the notice communicates both the availability of significant grant funding for military-connected education supports and a structured effort by DoDEA/ETAC to help districts align proposed activities with program goals and accountability requirements.Apply for HE1254 18 R 9999
