Education Department Extends Grants for Migrant Students
Published Date: 7/10/2026
Rule
Summary
The Department of Education is giving 39 projects extra time and money to keep helping migratory kids learn. These projects can now get funding for one more year, up to September 30, 2027. This means more support and smoother services for kids on the move, with no new rules to slow things down.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
39 Migratory Projects Get One-Year Funding
The Department of Education is allowing 39 Fiscal Year 2023 Consortium Incentive Grant (ALN 84.144F) projects to receive funding for one additional 12-month period, effective July 10, 2026, not to exceed September 30, 2027. This continuation lets grantees keep providing coordinated services to migratory children for that extra year.
Extension Limited to One Year (Not Two)
The final action limits the extension to one additional 12-month period (through September 30, 2027) rather than the up-to-two-year extension that was proposed. The Department stated this aligns with the Administration's FY 2027 budget request, which proposes elimination of the program.
No New FY2026 Competition Announced
The Department will not hold a new Consortium Incentive Grant (CIG) competition in Fiscal Year 2026. That means State educational agencies that might have applied in FY2026 will not have an opportunity to compete for CIG awards that year.
