Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 042325 001
The U.S. Department of Education, through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), is offering a discretionary grant competition for the District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), Assistance Listing (CFDA) Number 84.370A. This opportunity is administered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department expects to have substantial involvement with the selected recipient during implementation (for example, through ongoing coordination, monitoring, and program guidance). The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 042325 001, it was posted on April 23, 2025, and the application closing date is July 7, 2025. The notice anticipates making one award.
The core purpose of the OSP is to expand access to private school options in Washington, DC for low-income families, with particular attention to families whose children attend elementary or secondary schools identified among the District of Columbia's lowest performing schools under the citys accountability system. In practical terms, the program is designed to help eligible parents enroll their children in participating private schools located in the District of Columbia, thereby increasing school choice opportunities for students who may otherwise have limited options.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit entities. Applicants must be either a single nonprofit organization or a consortium of nonprofit organizations. The notice points applicants to the federal rule at 34 CFR 75.51 for how to document nonprofit status. Acceptable documentation includes proof of current IRS recognition as a 501(c)(3) organization (with tax-deductible contributions), a certification from a state taxing body or the state attorney general confirming nonprofit status and that no net earnings benefit private individuals, or a certified copy of incorporation (or a similar organizing document) that clearly establishes nonprofit status. If the applicant is a local affiliate of a state or national parent organization, it may submit the parent organizations qualifying documentation along with a statement confirming the affiliate relationship.
Faith-based organizations may apply and receive an award on the same basis as any other private organization, consistent with the Department of Educations regulations (referenced as appendix A to 34 CFR part 75). That language is meant to clarify that religiously affiliated nonprofits are not excluded from competition solely because of their faith-based identity, provided they meet the applicable program and regulatory requirements.
Because the provided description is explicitly a synopsis, applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete requirements. That official notice is where an applicant would find the full details on eligibility nuances, required application contents, any pre-application steps, submission procedures, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts. For logistics on obtaining and submitting the application package, the synopsis points to the Department of Educations Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published December 23, 2024 (89 FR 104528), which outlines the standard submission and procedural expectations used across many Education discretionary grant competitions.Apply for ED GRANTS 042325 001
