Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 121820 001
The Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) Native American and Alaska Native Children in School (NAM) Program (Assistance Listing Number 84.365C) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen educational services for Native students who are identified as English learners. In practical terms, the program focuses on building and improving an applicant's ability to deliver effective instruction and student supports for Native American and Alaska Native children, and it also explicitly includes Native Hawaiian and Native American Pacific Islander students within the population to be served. The central idea is not only to improve English language development and academic outcomes, but to do so in a way that supports the teaching, learning, and continued study of Native American languages alongside English.
This opportunity is announced as a synopsis of what is formally published in the Federal Register, and applicants are expected to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the complete requirements. That official notice is where the Department lays out the full eligibility rules, application package instructions, required components and forms, selection criteria, competitive priorities (if any), performance measures, and reporting expectations. The summary also points applicants to the Department of Education's "Common Instructions" for discretionary grant programs (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768), which typically govern items like how to submit, what formats are allowed, and other standard federal application requirements.
Administratively, this competition is identified as Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 121820 001, with a creation date of December 18, 2020. Applications were made available on December 18, 2020, with an optional Notice of Intent to Apply due January 4, 2021. The deadline to submit full applications was March 3, 2021, and the intergovernmental review deadline was May 3, 2021. The listing indicates an expectation of eight awards, although an award ceiling is not specified in the provided data (listed as 0, which generally means the ceiling was not captured in this summary and must be verified in the official notice).
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the key caveat that applicants must consult the Federal Register notice for the exact definition of eligible entities and any partnership or documentation requirements. The Department of Education is the awarding agency, and questions about the competition were directed to Celeste McLaughlin at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 4W206, Washington, DC 20202, phone (202) 453-6054, email NAM2021@ed.gov.
Overall, the NAM program is aimed at capacity-building and program improvement for schools and communities serving Native English learners, with a dual emphasis: advancing English proficiency and academic achievement while also sustaining and strengthening Native language education. For anyone preparing an application, the key takeaway is that the summary provides the intent and basic logistics, but the official Federal Register notice controls the details on eligibility, allowable activities, required evidence, and how proposals will be evaluated.Apply for ED GRANTS 121820 001
