Applications for your Consolidated Grant programs are now available in the Electronic Grants Management System (EGMS). The deadline for the Title I and II Consolidated Grant application is Friday, November 7, 2025.

Contact Information

Title III eligible districts received notification that Title III opened in EGMS on September 22, 2025.  The due date for the Title III EL grant is Friday, October 24, 2025.

If your district is part of a consortium, it is likely that there will be an earlier deadline to ensure the consortium application can be submitted on time.
