About Education Grants
Federal education grants are funded by agencies like the Department of Education, NSF, and NIH. They fund K-12 programs, higher education, workforce development, and research.
Who's eligible: Most education grants are open to 501(c)(3) nonprofits, state/local governments, tribal organizations, and educational institutions. Some are also open to for-profit small businesses (especially SBIR/STTR grants).
Typical timeline: Grants post with a 30-60 day application window. Most require a Letter of Intent (LOI) 2-4 weeks before the full application deadline. Starting early is critical — this is why alerts matter.
