Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 010725 001
The Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP), Assistance Listing Number 84.101A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen and improve career and technical education (CTE) programs that serve Native American and Alaska Native communities. The program is rooted in and must align with the purposes of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (commonly referred to as Perkins V). In practical terms, NACTEP funding is meant to help eligible Native-serving entities build, expand, or modernize CTE offerings so that learners can gain job-ready skills, connect to in-demand occupations, and access stronger training-to-employment pathways that reflect community needs and priorities.
Eligibility is limited to specific Native and Native-serving entities. Applicants may be (1) a federally recognized Indian Tribe, (2) a Tribal organization, (3) an Alaska Native entity, or (4) a Bureau-funded school, with an important limitation for Bureau-funded schools: they may not propose to use the award to support general education secondary school programs. Eligible entities can apply on their own or as part of a consortium with one or more other eligible entities. Consortium applications must follow the federal group application rules in 34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129, which govern how partners coordinate responsibilities, decision-making, and grant administration. The notice also clarifies that a Tribal college or university may apply under the category of a Tribal organization if it meets the applicable definition. If an applicant is a nonprofit organization, it must be able to document its nonprofit status in the way federal education grants typically require (for example, IRS 501(c)(3) recognition, certification from a state authority, or incorporation documents that clearly establish nonprofit status, including affiliate documentation if relevant).
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is offered as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) under the broad federal activity category of Education. The opportunity number is ED GRANTS 010725 001, it was created on January 7, 2025, and the listed original application closing date is March 10, 2025. The Department anticipates making approximately 35 awards. The synopsis you provided does not include an award ceiling amount, and it repeatedly emphasizes that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete and controlling requirements, including application formatting, mandatory forms, submission procedures, performance measures, competitive priorities, and points-based selection criteria.
Because the Department of Education uses standardized submission and procedural rules across many discretionary grants, the notice points applicants to the Department's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published December 7, 2022, 87 FR 75045). Those common instructions are where applicants typically find the required submission platform guidance, formatting expectations, how to address absolute or competitive preference priorities, what to include in narratives and budgets, and how to meet pre-application or application requirements. The notice also directs applicants to the Federal Register and related resources as the authoritative source for the program details and the addresses and methods for obtaining and submitting an application.Apply for ED GRANTS 010725 001
