This is an urgent reminder for those districts that are eligible to receive Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) funding. Please note that June 30, 2017 is the final date to submit your grant application. Your FY 2017 Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) grant application must be completely entered in Grants.gov by 4:30 p.m. in order to receive funding for 2017-18. In past years this money had been automatically set aside for you and because of the changes with ESSA, now you must complete the application annually.
To complete the application, your district must have a DUNS number that is active and registered in the System for Award Management, and you must register in https://www.grants.gov as an “Organization Applicant.” Additional details about the application process and requirements are available on the USDOE SRSA website’s Applicant Information page.
If you have not yet submitted your application, please do so as soon as possible before June 30. If you need assistance completing the application, consider attending one of the ongoing SRSA application walk-through web seminars sponsored by USDOE on the following dates:
- Tuesday, June 20, 4-5 p.m. ET registration
- Wednesday, June 21, 1-2 p.m. ET registration
- Tuesday, June 27, 4-5 p.m. ET registration
- Wednesday, June 28, 1-2 p.m. ET registration
