Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 052721 001
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI) Program (Assistance Listing Number 84.382C) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its core aim is capacity-building: it provides funding to eligible institutions of higher education so they can strengthen and broaden the services, programs, and institutional supports they provide to Native American students and to low-income individuals. In practice, the program is designed to help institutions plan, develop, and carry out improvements that make the college better equipped to recruit, retain, support, and graduate these student populations, while also improving the overall effectiveness of the institution in serving them.
This opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 052721 001, with an original posting date of May 27, 2021. Applications became available on May 27, 2021, with a deadline to submit applications by July 12, 2021. The deadline for intergovernmental review was listed as September 9, 2021. The Department of Education identified an award ceiling of $500,000 and anticipated making about 11 awards. As a discretionary grant, awards are competitive, and applicants are expected to follow the Department of Education discretionary grant application procedures and any program-specific requirements stated in the official Federal Register notice.
Eligibility is framed around qualifying institutions of higher education, described here as "Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions." The opportunity summary points readers to the official application notice for the exact eligibility definitions and thresholds, as well as any documentation an institution must provide to demonstrate eligibility. The listing also signals that some eligibility details are clarified in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the full announcement materials, which means interested applicants should confirm they meet the statutory and regulatory requirements before investing significant effort in an application.
The synopsis emphasizes that the short description provided in the opportunity posting is not the controlling document; the authoritative guidance is the version published in the Federal Register. That official notice is where an applicant would find the complete set of requirements, including how to submit, what must be included in the narrative and budget, any required forms and assurances, the selection criteria and scoring, performance measures, reporting expectations, and any competitive preferences or absolute priorities that may apply. Applicants are also directed to use the Department's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768) for standard submission rules, addresses, and procedural instructions.
