Program Description:
This purpose of this program is to support the
establishment and implementation of comprehensive high school
completion and success initiatives. The grant program will
target low-performing and under performing high schools through
student-focused competitive intervention grants that will
provide direct and indirect (support) services to students
in grades 9-12.
Grants will be awarded to programs that demonstrate the
most potential to improve high school success and completion
and encourage students toward post-secondary education and
training, including basic skills grants to districts implementing
special programs for high school students who have not earned
sufficient credit to advance to the next grade; after-school
programs designed to prevent high school dropouts; and middle-college
programs that encourage at-risk students and students who
wish to accelerate their education by undertaking courses
of study that allow both high school and college level work.
Grant Period:
February 1, 2004 - August 31, 2005.
Agency
staff will thoroughly review each application to determine that
it is in compliance with all applicable program statutes, rules,
and regulations and that the identified program goals and activities
meet the intent of the authorizing legislation and Request for
Application. Once this determination has been made and it is confirmed
that the application is indeed eligible to be funded, Agency staff
may be contacting the designated program contact person to negotiate
changes to the application.
