Table of Preschool Development Grants Applications Selected for Funding

Note: Year 1 grants will be awarded for a period of 12 months. Continuation awards for years two, three, and four are not final; they will be contingent on the availability of funds, Department budget reviews, and the grantees making satisfactory progress in accordance with 34 CFR 75.253 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).

Preschool Development Grants – Expansion Grants

Note: Consistent with the Departments’ plan to ensure that a variety of States benefit from the Preschool Development Grants competition, the Departments have selected high-quality proposals from both States that have and that have not received Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) awards. Applications are ranked in order of their average raw score and are presented in two separate slates for Absolute Priority 2 and Absolute Priority 3.¹¹Absolute Priorities 2 and 3 divided the States eligible for Expansion Grants into those that had received RTT-ELC grants and those that had not. As noted in the NIA, to ensure that a variety of States benefit from the Preschool Development Grants program and that States that have received RTT-ELC awards are not unfairly advantaged in the competition, the Departments could consider high-ranking applications meeting Absolute Priorities 2 and 3 separately when making grants.

Absolute Priority Two (RTT-ELC States)

Absolute Priority Three (Non RTT-ELC States)

²The Funding request for Years 3 and 4 exceeded the budget cap of $25,000,000. The maximum awards that New York will receive for Years 3 and 4 will be $25,000,000.
