Posted March 25th, 2009 in Funding, News

The Federal Stimulus Package includes money for Washington State, but you’ll have to be ready to act fast – the competitive application process will start soon and you can expect a short timeline for 2009-10 dollars. Go to the OSPI website for the details or read below for the most pertinent information. We’ll keep you updated on new developments – check back often.

$44.5 Million for Washington State
The Federal Stimulus Package allocates $44.5 million for Washington State over the next two years – allocation will begin soon, so you need to be ready to submit your grant. Read more about the details on the OSPI site.

OSPI Will Announce the Application Process Soon
Once the state’s proposal for using stimulus package funds is approved by DOE, OSPI will use the iGrants system to notify superintendents and district fiscal managers regarding the application process for these competitive grants.

Time is of the Essence
Given the anticipated start date of July 1, 2009 for stimulus package grants awarded for the 2009-2010 school year, you can expect a relatively short timeline for the application process.
