Special Education: Grants to States

Grants are awarded to states to assist in providing free appropriate public education for all children with disabilities. Funds may be used for salaries of teachers and other personnel, education materials, related services such as special transportation or occupational therapy that allow children and youth with disabilities to access all education services, and other education-related costs. Youth initiatives can coordinate with schools and other community providers to ensure funds are used for education and youth development activities that support disabled youth.

Eligibility: State educational agencies in the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Virgin Islands, the Department of the Interior, and freely associated states. Local educational agencies apply to their state educational agency for subgrants.
