Common questions

What federal grants can school districts apply for?

Any opportunity that lists your entity type among its eligible applicants. That is what this page filters on, live from Grants.gov. Eligibility codes are a starting point though — the notice's own eligibility section frequently adds restrictions on geography, designation or prior awards that the codes do not capture.

Do I need a SAM.gov registration?

Yes, to receive any federal award. Registration is free and can take several weeks, so it is worth starting before you find an opportunity you want rather than after.

How do I know which of these is worth my time?

Set up an organization profile and each result is scored on eligibility, focus-area overlap, award size and how much time is left before the deadline, with the reasoning shown. The score describes fit, not your chance of being funded.
