ESSA Title III Immigrant Children and Youth Competitive Grant
To better support Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) in creating high-quality, impactful programs, the Nevada Department of Education (NDE or Department) is shifting to a competitive model for Title III Immigrant Children and Youth funding. This change allows NDE to award fewer, larger grants of sufficient size and scope to help recently immigrated students acclimate to U.S. schools, master English, and achieve challenging State academic standards.
For the purposes of this grant, “Immigrant Children and Youth” are defined by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) §3201(5) as individuals who:
Are aged 3 through 21;Were not born in any State (defined as the 50 States, D.C., and Puerto Rico); andHave not been attending one or more schools in any one or more States for more than three full academic years.
