Grants

The Consolidated Federal Programs (CFP) team oversees the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), the reauthorization of the long-standing Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The team assists local education agencies (LEAs) and other eligible entitles to: apply for competitive and formula-based grants, comply with grant terms and conditions, and achieve maximum benefit from grant investments.

Child Nutrition Programs Grants

The Vermont Agency of Education (VT AOE) Child Nutrition Programs team operates multiple grants which provide resources to Vermont's child nutrition programs. The State Equipment grant, Federal Equipment grant, and Local Foods Incentive grant all occur annually. When one-time funding opportunities are made available, guidance on how to apply for funds and how to manage awarded funds will be provided.

Title III State Formula Grant Program

The Agency of Education receives federal Title III state formula grant funds from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) to plan and administer programs to assist English Learners (ELs), including immigrant children and youth, in attaining English language proficiency and developing high levels of academic achievement in order to meet challenging state academic standards.

Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of college-level courses offered at many high schools. Courses are available in many subject areas, including English, history, humanities, languages, math, psychology and science. The focus is not on memorizing facts and figures, but rather on engaging discussions, approaching and solving problems together and learning to write well. Contact your local high school to find AP courses.
