The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) State Tribal Education Partnership (STEP) Tribal Education Agency Development Discretionary Grant Program (often referred to as "STEP Development") is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant opportunity listed under CFDA 84.415A. The program is designed to strengthen Tribal education capacity by supporting Tribal education agencies (TEAs) and related Tribal entities as they build or expand the structures needed to play a more active, self-determined role in education. In practice, the grant is aimed at helping Tribes and Tribal organizations develop the organizational ability to work effectively with State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) in ways that directly respond to the educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students.
The stated purposes of STEP are threefold. First, it seeks to promote Tribal self-determination in education, meaning Tribes have greater authority, voice, and operational capacity to shape educational supports and decisions affecting their students. Second, it is intended to improve the academic achievement of Indian children and youth, tying capacity-building work to outcomes that ultimately benefit students. Third, it emphasizes better coordination and collaboration among TEAs, SEAs, and LEAs so that programs, services, and decision-making are more aligned and more responsive to the unique needs of Indian students, including needs connected to culture, language, and community priorities.
This opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of Education and categorized as a discretionary grant within the education funding activity area. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. The listing also indicates additional eligible applicants may exist depending on the details in the official Federal Register notice (the summary points readers to the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the full announcement for clarification). Because eligibility rules can be nuanced in Department of Education competitions, the official Federal Register application notice is the controlling document for determining who can apply and under what conditions.
Key dates for the 2019 competition cycle were included in the synopsis. Applications were made available on June 13, 2019. Applicants were strongly encouraged to submit a non-binding Notice of Intent to Apply by June 28, 2019 to help the Department plan for application review workload, but submitting that notice was not required to remain eligible to apply. The deadline for transmittal (submission) of full applications was August 12, 2019, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was October 11, 2019. The synopsis also notes that the Department planned to host a pre-application webinar (date to be determined at the time) and invited prospective applicants to pre-register by emailing their name, organization, and contact information to the program contact (shahla.ortega@ed.gov) with the subject line indicating a STEP grants pre-application meeting.
The opportunity anticipated making approximately 10 awards. The summary shows an "Award Ceiling: 0," which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the synopsis record and applicants needed to consult the official notice for maximum award amounts, estimated ranges, project periods, matching requirements (if any), and other fiscal details. Likewise, the synopsis repeatedly stresses that the short description is only a high-level overview and that applicants must rely on the Federal Register notice for the definitive requirements, including pre-application and application procedures, performance measures, required forms and assurances, competition priorities, selection criteria, and complete submission instructions.
For submission logistics, the synopsis directs applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" published February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768), which provides standard guidance on how and where to obtain, complete, and submit applications, along with related federal grants requirements. It also reiterates that the official source for the program details is the Federal Register publication, accessible online through the Government Publishing Office, and that applicants should use that source to ensure compliance with all requirements.Apply for ED GRANTS 061319 001
