 OVERVIEW
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is providing about $36 billion this year to states and school districts, primarily through formula-based grant programs, to improve elementary and secondary schools and meet the special needs of students. ED is providing about $2.5 billion to help strengthen teaching and learning in colleges and other postsecondary institutions and about $3.3 billion to support rehabilitation, research and development, statistics, and assessment.

Use topics at the left to find education grants or keep up with existing ones. (If you're looking for grants or loans to help you pay for college, please visit the Financial Aid Information Center.)
