Award Details
Grant participants are eligible to receive grants for up to two years in an amount of up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) each year. No organization will receive an award totaling more than $500,000 annually. For the purpose of the 2023-2025 ELISS Grant Program, applicants may request funds ranging from $50,000, not to exceed $500,000 based on:
- needs identified in the community and schools
- scope of the program
- proposed number of students served; and
- program design.
To determine the level of funding eligibility, NCDPI utilized the Student Success Planning Cost Estimate Tool from the Harvard Graduate School of Education to develop the funding ranges below. The funding ranges are based on the number of students served, the duration of the program, and potential staffing costs:
- Funding Level I: proposing to serve 25-49 students: $50,000 - $200,000
- Funding Level II: proposing to serve 50-75 students: up to $250,000
- Funding Level III: proposing to serve 76-150 students: up to $250,000
- Funding Level IV: proposing to serve 151+ students: up to $500,000
These funding levels encompass the required Tier II/III supports as well as the option core (Tier I) and EL supports.
Applicants must provide certification to NCDPI that the grants received under the 2023-2025 ELISS program shall be matched on the basis of three dollars in grant funds for every one dollar in non-grant funds. Matching funds may include in-kind contributions for up to 50% of the required match.
