The intent of the ESG grant awarded through the CDE is to address reducing educational barriers for students who experience high mobility by providing academic and social-emotional services and support to highly mobile students.

Applicants were asked to frame their strategies, activities and performance measures around the following focus areas:

1. Academic Progress
2. Attendance Progress
3. Social-emotional and Behavioral Outcomes

Grant awards are for a consecutive three-year period. Approximately $825,000 is available for the 2025-2026 school year, with funding contingent on annual appropriations from the State Legislature. 

The submission of an Intent to Apply was not required but highly encouraged.  

A webinar to learn more about the application was held on March 28, 2025. Click here to view the recording.
