Consolidated Application Submission Deadlines

All applications are approved by the Secretary of Education. For FY09 Consolidated Applications, the following schedule applies:

Grant Submission Date            DOE Review Dates                   Grant Start Date
July 17, 2009                             July 21 - 23, 2009                      July 1, 2009
August 17, 2009                        August 25 - 27, 2009                 August 1, 2009

If the applicant does not submit an application by August 17, 2009, the LEA must request an extension. Extensions will only be granted in rare instances with good reason. If an extension request is denied, the LEA will lose these funds.

If the applicant takes more than four weeks to revise the application to a substantially approvable state based on comment feedback from DOE program managers, the start date above will be modified accordingly.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: All information contained in the DDOE LEA Consolidated Grant Application is subject to change, depending on receipt of federal US DOE rules and guidance. LEAs may be required to submit amendments that would bring the application into compliance with such documents at any time during the effective dates of the grants.
