Approximately $2,915,403 per year is available for program operations in the service area, with the award ceiling shown as $2,915,403.

Applicants may include state, county, city, or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those specific nonprofit categories); and for-profit organizations, including small businesses and other for-profit entities (other than small businesses).
