Formula Grant Definition

Formula grant programs are noncompetitive awards based on a predetermined formula. These programs are sometimes referred to as state-adminstered programs. The OSEP-administered Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has three formula grant programs, the Grants to States program authorized by Part B Section 611 for children ages 3 through 21; the Preschool Grants program authorized by Part B Section 619 for children ages 3 through 5; and the Grants for Infants and Families program authorized by Part C for infants and toddlers, ages birth through 2 and their families.
