Department of Education May 20, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Secretary intends to use the existing slate of applications from the FY 2010 competition for the Demonstration Grants for Indian Children program authorized by 20 U.S.C. 7441 to make new grant awards in FY 2011. The Secretary takes this action because there are a significant number of unfunded, high-quality applications on the FY 2010 slate and there are very limited funds available for new awards in FY 2011. We expect to use an estimated $1,030,815 for new awards in FY 2011. The actual level of funding depends on the amount of FY 2011 program funds that are available after the Department makes continuation awards.
