CSP Grants to State Entities 84.282A

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education is offering CSP Grants to State Entities 84.282A, a competitive federal discretionary grant program that supports state entities in expanding charter school opportunities. The grants fund state entities that then award subgrants to help open new charter schools and replicate or expand high-quality charter schools serving elementary and secondary students, with the option for charter schools to also serve early childhood or postsecondary students. Eligible applicants are state entities with a state statute specifically authorizing the establishment of charter schools, and no matching requirement is listed; the program is estimated to provide $60 million across about five awards. Applications must be submitted electronically by June 18, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and the listed contact is Sareeta Schmitt at se_competition@ed.gov.
