Education grants with open deadlines

145 currently open · refreshed daily

Education is consistently one of the largest federal grant categories, spanning the Department of Education, NSF education programs, and youth-focused funding from HHS and USDA. Awards range from small capacity-building grants under $50,000 to multi-year program grants in the millions. Most opportunities here accept applications from 501(c)(3) organizations directly; some flow through school districts or state agencies, so check the eligibility line on each listing before investing time. Federal education grants usually require measurable outcomes — if your program already tracks attendance, test scores, or completion rates, say so prominently in your application. This page lists every education opportunity currently open on grants.gov, sorted by deadline, refreshed daily.
