Eligibility

Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible Applicants: State entities (SEs) in States with a specific State statute authorizing the granting of charters to schools.
Under section 4303(e)(1) of the ESEA, no SE may receive a grant under this competition for use in a State in which an SE has a current CSP State Entities grant. The Department awarded new CSP State Entities grants under section 4303 of the ESEA in FY 2017 and FY 2018.
Accordingly, no SE may receive a grant under this competition for use in a State in which an SE received a CSP State Entities grant in FY 2017 or FY 2018, and is currently using the grant; these States are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, and Wisconsin. SEs in States in which an SEA has a current CSP grant for SEAs that was awarded prior to FY 2017, under the ESEA, as amended by the NCLB, are eligible to apply for a CSP State Entities grant under this competition, so long as no other SE in the State has a current CSP State Entities grant.
In addition, consistent with section 4303(e)(1) of the ESEA, if multiple SEs in a State submit applications that receive high enough scores to be recommended for funding under this competition, only the highest-scoring application among such State entities would be funded.

Purpose of Program:
The major purposes of the CSP are to expand opportunities for all students,
particularly traditionally underserved students, to attend public charter schools and meet challenging State academic standards; provide
financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial
implementation of 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. Through the CSP Grants to State Entities (CSP State
Entities) competition (CFDA number 84.282A), the Department awards grants to State entities that, in turn, award
subgrants to eligible applicants
for the purpose of opening and preparing for the operation of new charter schools and replicated high-quality charter schools,
and expanding high-quality charter
schools.
Grant funds may also be used to provide technical assistance to
eligible applicants and authorized public chartering agencies
in opening and preparing for the operation of new charter schools and replicating
and expanding high-quality charter
schools;
and to work with authorized
public chartering agencies
in the State
to improve authorizing quality, including developing capacity for, and
conducting, fiscal oversight and auditing of charter schools.
