Ohio education grant FAQ

Who funds education programs in Ohio?

In Ohio, federal education dollars flow from the U.S. Department of Education to the state education agency, which administers formula programs like Title I, II, and IV and sub-grants them to local school districts. Competitive federal grants, state appropriations, and private and community foundations add to the pool. FindGrants surfaces 13 open education grants you can apply to in Ohio and nationally right now.

What can Ohio education grants fund?

Eligible uses include classroom instruction and materials, teacher and leader development, school improvement, STEM and literacy programs, technology and labs, college-access programs, and afterschool and summer learning. Title I supports services for low-income students, Title II educator quality, and Title IV student support and academic enrichment. Each program sets its own allowable costs.

When are Ohio education grant applications due?

Formula programs run on the Ohio education agency's annual cycle, while competitive federal and foundation grants have their own windows. The open opportunities below show current deadlines, or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see every education grant you qualify for right now.
