The applicants will provide a description of their proposed activities and provide information necessary to determine which grant applications should be funded. An additional part of the application consists of assurances regarding the applicant's compliance with applicable Federal laws and regulations. The information provided in the application will allow field readers and the Department of Education to determine if applicants are eligible and identify which applications most merit funding.
