Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 022724 002
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions program, listed as ALN 84.031W, is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education under Title III, Part A of the Higher Education Act. The basic goal is capacity-building: it provides funds to eligible institutions of higher education so they can improve and expand their ability to serve Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students. Schools can use the money to plan, develop, or implement projects that strengthen the institution overall, which typically means efforts tied to academic quality, student success supports, and institutional systems that help students persist and complete credentials.
Eligibility is limited to institutions that meet specific student enrollment thresholds and institutional criteria at the time they submit an application. An Alaska Native-serving institution must certify that at least 20 percent of its undergraduate enrollment is Alaska Native students, while a Native Hawaiian-serving institution must certify that at least 10 percent of its undergraduate enrollment is Native Hawaiian students. Applicants must submit a signed assurance form (included in the application package) from an authorized institutional official confirming the enrollment requirement. Beyond the enrollment thresholds, the institution must be accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency that the Secretary of Education recognizes as a reliable authority on educational quality. The institution also must be legally authorized by its state to operate as a junior or community college or to provide an educational program leading to a bachelors degree. In addition, the institution must demonstrate it serves a significant population of needy students (as defined in the program regulations at 34 CFR 607.3) and that it has low average education and general expenditures per full-time equivalent undergraduate student (as described at 34 CFR 607.4). These additional requirements reinforce that the program is aimed at colleges with both high student need and relatively limited institutional financial capacity.
The notice also highlights important restrictions about overlapping federal awards under related programs. If an institution is currently funded under the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program (Title V), it may not receive a grant under any Title III, Part A program, including this ANNH competition. Similarly, institutions already holding certain Title III, Part A or Title V grants generally cannot drop an existing grant midstream just to pursue an ANNH award, consistent with the rules at 34 CFR 607.2(g)(1). Institutions that are not current grantees under the listed Title III, Part A programs (such as Strengthening Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, AANAPISI, Predominantly Black Institutions, and Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions) may apply to all Title III, Part A competitions for which they qualify, and they can also be considered for the HSI program if eligible, but they can ultimately receive only one of these grants in a given cycle under the one-grant rule.
This competition can support more than one grant structure, including Individual Development Grants and Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants. An eligible institution may submit applications for both types and, if successful, can be awarded both in the same fiscal year. There are limits on repeat cooperative awards for lead institutions: the Department will not make a second Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant to the same eligible lead institution in an award year when it already holds a cooperative arrangement grant as the lead under the ANNH program. At the same time, the program is designed to encourage partnerships. An institution that receives an individual or cooperative grant may still participate as a partner on one or more other cooperative arrangements. For cooperative projects, the lead institution must be eligible under the ANNH rules, but partner organizations do not have to be eligible institutions, which opens the door for collaborations with other colleges, community-based organizations, workforce partners, or other entities that can support the project goals.
For this specific posting (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 022724 002), the Department of Education anticipated making about 18 awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The original application closing date listed is April 29, 2024. Because the summary provided is only a synopsis, applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete requirements, including detailed eligibility definitions, allowable activities, application components, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and contact information. The notice also points applicants to the Department of Education Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for standardized guidance on how and where to obtain and submit applications.Apply for ED GRANTS 022724 002
