No Payment Processing Week of Nov 18 Through Nov 22, 2024.

Due to upcoming CORE-CT system maintenance, we will NOT be able to process payments the week of November 18 through November 22, 2024.  Please plan accordingly and make your fund requests (FR) to cover that period.  If you have submitted an FR and need it open, please contact us ASAP.  Also note that this maintenance will NOT affect any other functions on the eGMS system.

The 2025 Title IV Part A applications are now available (8/23/2024)

New this year:

o   Kate Bohannan is the new State Coordinator for Title IV Part A and can be reached at Kate.Bohannan@ct.gov or by phone at (860) 807-2123.

o   In order to better facilitate collaboration with non-public schools, the “Private School Participation Form” has been updated to a fillable PDF

o   A link to the T4PA Center will be added to the CSDE Resources tab under Title IV Part A. The T4PA Center provides access to a wealth of information related to Title IV Part A including a searchable resource library, free webinars, and spotlights on Title IV Part A funded initiatives from around the country.

Helpful information

o   The priority deadline for 2025 Title IV Part A applications is Friday, November 1, 2024. Applications received by this date will be reviewed before the Thanksgiving break and will either receive “CSDE Grant Contact Approved” or will be returned for edits if needed.

o   Fund requests do not require documentation; however, uploading documentation will expedite the fund request approval process. Examples of documentation include a copy of an accounting system report, a receipt, invoice or payroll register.
