Program Description
The CSP State Entities program is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (20 U.S.C. 7221-7221j). Prior to enactment of the ESSA, the ESEA, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), authorized the Secretary to make awards to State educational agencies to enable them to conduct charter school subgrant programs in their States. The CSP State Entities program is under new law and has different eligibility requirements, priorities, definitions, application requirements, and selection criteria.
The major purposes of the CSP are to expand opportunities for all students, particularly traditionally underserved students, to attend charter schools and meet challenging State academic standards; provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of public charter schools; increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the United States; evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities; share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; encourage States to provide facilities support to charter schools; and support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process.
The CSP grants to State Entities (84.282A) is a competitive grant program that enables State entities to award subgrants to eligible applicants in their State to open and prepare for the operation of new charter schools and to replicate and expand high-quality charter schools. Grant funds must also be used by the State entity to provide technical assistance to eligible applicants and authorized public chartering agencies in opening and preparing for the operation of new charter schools, or replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools; and to work with authorized public chartering agencies to improve authorizing quality, including developing capacity for, and conducting, fiscal oversight and auditing of charter schools.
Applicant Information
The Notice Inviting Applications (NIA) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program — Grants to State Entities (SE Grants) was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2024, and can be accessed here. The deadline for submission of a grant application under this competition was 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 13, 2024. Awards for FY 2024 SE Grants were made on September 27, 2024.
Additional SE Grant Award information can be accessed on the Awards tab.
Eligibility
State entities with a state statute specifically authorizing the establishment of charter schools were eligible to apply. Under section 4303(e)(1) of the ESEA, no State entity may receive a grant under this program for use in a State in which a State entity is currently using a grant received under this program.
State entity means-->
- A State educational agency;
- A State charter school board;
- A Governor of a State; or
- A charter school support organization.
Eligible applicant, when used with respect to subgrants made by a State entity, means a developer that has --
- applied to an authorized public chartering authority to operate a charter school; and
- provided adequate and timely notice to that authority.
Funding Restrictions:
A State entity receiving a grant under this program shall:
- use not less than 90 percent of the grant funds to award subgrants to eligible applicants for activities related to opening and preparing for the operation of new charter school or to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools;
- reserve not less than seven percent of funds to provide technical assistance to eligible applicants and authorized public chartering agencies in opening and preparing for the operation of new charter schools or to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools and in improving authorizing quality, including developing capacity for, and conducting, fiscal oversight and auditing of charter schools; and
- reserve not more than three percent of funds for administrative costs, which may include technical assistance.
Point of Clarification: Administrative costs and technical assistance costs combined cannot exceed 10% due to the "no less than 90%" subgrant requirement. However, technical assistance must be not less than seven percent and administrative costs can be no more than three percent.
Note: A charter school developer in a State in which no State entity has an application for a grant approved under ALN 84.282A (State entities program or previously State Educational Agencies program) may apply for funding directly from the Department under the CSP Developers Grants competitions. Additional information about the CSP Developers Grants competitions is available at here.

Registering on Grants.gov and SAM.gov:
- REGISTER EARLY — Grants.gov registration involves many steps including registration on SAM (SAM.gov), which usually takes approximately 7 to 10 business days, but can take longer depending on the completeness and accuracy of the data entered into the SAM database by an applicant.
- You may begin working on your application while completing the registration process, but you cannot submit an application until all of the Registration steps are complete.
- Please note that once your SAM registration is active, it will take 24-48 hours for the information to be available in Grants.gov, and before you can submit an application through Grants.gov.
- For detailed information on the Registration Steps, please go to here. Please note that your organization will need to update its SAM registration annually.
- To register in SAM.gov, click on the "Get Started" link under the "Register Your Entity…" heading in SAM.gov.
- Grantees, and other entities wanting to do business with the U.S. Department of Education (e.g., entities applying for a grant), that are not already registered in SAM.gov must complete the "Register Entity" registration option and NOT the "Get a Unique Entity ID" option. The "Get a Unique Entity ID" option, which is not a full registration, is only available to entities for reporting purposes. Failing to complete the "Register Entity" option may result in loss of funding, loss of applicant eligibility, and/or delays in receiving a grant award.
- Information about SAM is available at SAM.gov. To further assist you with registering in SAM or updating your existing SAM registration, see the Quick Start Guide for Grant Registrations and the Entity Registration Video here.
