U.S. Department of Education State Facilities Capacity Grant Opportunity
/The U.S. Department of Education pre-application technical assistance webinar for the Supporting America's School Infrastructure (SASI) grant program is now available. The materials include transcripts and PowerPoint slides.
The SASI grant program will disperse up to $40 million to state education agencies or state education facilities authorities for school facilities capacity building in order to support high-need local education agencies with their school facilities. Individual state grant sizes are estimated to be $3-5 million which can be spent over 5 years. 8-13 state awards are anticipated for FY2023. State applications are due by Aug. 7th, 2023.
