Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 071420 002
The Native American Language (NAL@ED) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, within the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and administered by the Office of Indian Education (OIE). Listed under CFDA number 84.415B (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 071420 002), the program is designed to strengthen Native American and Alaska Native language instruction in schools and related educational settings, with the larger goal of supporting language survival, cultural continuity, and improved student outcomes in Native communities.
At its core, the program funds efforts where Native American or Alaska Native languages are used as the primary language of instruction. This emphasis is not simply about offering language as a class or an elective, but about supporting educational models that place the heritage language at the center of teaching and learning. The opportunity is also explicitly tied to the Native American Languages Act of 1990 (25 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.), reflecting a federal commitment to maintain, protect, and promote the rights of Native peoples to use, practice, maintain, and revitalize their languages. In practical terms, the program is meant to back community-driven strategies that keep languages in daily use across generations while also strengthening educational opportunity and achievement for Native students.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (including those that are not federally recognized tribal governments). The listing also indicates that additional applicants may be eligible depending on the details provided in the official Federal Register notice under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section, which applicants are expected to consult to confirm whether their specific entity type qualifies.
For this 2020 competition cycle, applications became available on July 14, 2020, with a recommended (but not required) Notice of Intent to Apply due on July 29, 2020. The Department encouraged prospective applicants to email the program contact with the subject line "Intent to Apply" and include the applicant name along with a contact person and email address. This notice was intended to help the Department plan for application review, but it did not affect eligibility; applicants could still submit a full application even if they did not send an intent notice, and sending an intent notice did not obligate the applicant to apply. A pre-application meeting was scheduled for July 21, 2020, and the deadline to submit applications was August 28, 2020.
The opportunity anticipates making a small number of awards (the posting lists an expected four awards). The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the summary data, which typically signals that applicants need to rely on the official Federal Register notice for definitive information on funding ranges, maximum award amounts, project periods, and any matching or cost-share requirements. As with most Department of Education discretionary grants, applicants are also directed to follow the Department's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768), which governs key submission and procedural requirements.
Applicants are repeatedly cautioned that the synopsis is only a summary and that the controlling guidance is the Federal Register application notice. That official notice contains the full set of requirements, including how to submit, what must be included in the application package, any program priorities, the performance measures used to evaluate success, and complete contact and administrative details. The listed point of contact for this opportunity is Tanya Tullos at the U.S. Department of Education, with program inquiries directed to NAL@ed.gov and a telephone contact at (202) 453-6037.Apply for ED GRANTS 071420 002
