AWARE Texas Expansion Program Evaluation and Support Grant

The AWARE Texas Expansion Program Evaluation and Support, administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), provides federal and state grant awards to various educational entities, including school districts and nonprofit organizations. This program aims to enhance educational opportunities through structured guidelines and procedures. Eligible applicants must submit comprehensive applications, ensuring compliance with fiscal and programmatic requirements to secure funding for educational initiatives.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) administers federal and state grant awards to its subgrantees to carry out a program. Such entities include primarily school systems (referred to as local educational agencies [LEAs] in statutes), including independent school districts and charter schools; education service centers (ESCs); and, to a lesser degree, institutions of higher education (IHEs), nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and other statutorily allowable organizations. The following Program Guidelines apply to all eligible subgrantees for the designated grant program.
The Program Guidelines, as part of the request for application (RFA), are to be used in conjunction with the General and Fiscal Guidelines and any application instructions or other RFA requirements, as listed for the grant on the TEA Grant Opportunities page. The Standard Application System (SAS) consists of Application Part 1 (PDF narrative schedules) and Application Part 2 (Excel budget schedules). An eligible applicant must submit both parts of the SAS to apply for funding, unless specifically delineated in these guidelines.
For applicants selected for funding, all guidelines and instructions will be incorporated by reference into the Notice of Grant Award (NOGA).
