Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 041922 001
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) at the U.S. Department of Education released this discretionary grant opportunity under the Federal TRIO Programs for the Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) Program, identified as Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.047M (Funding Opportunity Number: ED GRANTS 041922 001). The UBMS competition is one part of the broader Upward Bound (UB) family of grants, which sits within the larger TRIO portfolio of programs aimed at expanding educational opportunity and success. This specific notice invites applications only for UBMS projects (not the regular Upward Bound projects and not Veterans Upward Bound, which are handled through separate notices).
The core purpose of the UBMS program is to help high school students build the academic preparation, skills, and motivation needed to finish secondary school and successfully enter and complete postsecondary education, with a strong emphasis on pathways that lead to careers in math and science fields. In practice, UBMS projects are designed to strengthen students academic performance and persistence in math and science and to help them see, plan for, and access college programs connected to STEM-oriented careers. The opportunity is grounded in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and the services UBMS projects must provide are tied directly to statutory requirements in sections 402C(b) and (c) of the HEA, with additional allowable activities described in section 402C(d). The notice makes clear that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete, authoritative requirements, including the full list of mandatory services, permissible services, priorities, and performance measures.
A wide range of organizations may apply, reflecting the program’s intent to support partnerships and community-based delivery models. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments and other eligible Native American tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, as long as they are not institutions of higher education when applying under the nonprofit category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the official eligibility text. This breadth allows UBMS projects to be hosted by colleges and universities, K-12 systems, nonprofits, and other organizations that can operate a structured academic and college-prep program for participating students.
Key dates in the published opportunity include an applications-available date of April 19, 2022, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 3, 2022. The deadline for intergovernmental review is listed as August 2, 2022. The notice also points applicants to the Department’s Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 27, 2021) for details on how to obtain and submit an application, including the required addresses and submission procedures.
In terms of expected funding levels, the listed award ceiling is $287,537, and the opportunity anticipates making 212 awards. Because this is a discretionary grant competition, funding decisions depend on the application’s responsiveness to program requirements, how well the proposed project design aligns with UBMS goals, the applicant’s capacity to deliver required services, and the evaluation criteria and priorities described in the Federal Register notice.
For questions, the opportunity lists Department of Education contacts within OPE: Tanisha Hamblin-Johnson (Tanisha.Johnson@ed.gov, 202-453-6090) and Tara Lawrence (Tara.Lawrence@ed.gov, 202-260-1475), both at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, room 2C104, Washington, DC 20202-4260. Finally, the synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that applicants should consult the official Federal Register publication for the complete and controlling guidance, including pre-application and application requirements, performance measures, priorities, and other program rules, since the synopsis is not a substitute for the official notice.Apply for ED GRANTS 041922 001
