The calendar is designed to inform entities of expected release dates for applications. Our desire is that this schedule helps entities plan accordingly throughout the year. You also can use this information to identify opportunities for which your entity may be eligible. We expect all applications to launch on the dates provided in the schedule, but there may be rare occasions when a change will be made. This schedule will be updated monthly.​​

Field Definitions
  • Funding Opportunity State or federal grant names as defined by the program areas under the Instructional Education and Operational Education Centers.
  • Fiscal Year A 12-month period used by ISBE for accounting and budgeting, which does not align with the calendar year. ISBE’s fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.
  • Opportunity Type A funding opportunity is categorized within ISBE’s internal Grant Tracker application as a Competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), Continuation Grant, or Formula Grant. NOFO was previously named RFP.
  • Application Release Date The date that ISBE management approves the grant application to open so that grant applications can be created by external entities for eventual submission to ISBE.
  • Grant Period Start Date The effective date when an awardee can begin incurring costs and obligations to carry out the work authorized by a grant. The specific date is determined by the ISBE program areas.
  • Application Due Date (Competitive NOFO) The deadline for when grantees must submit an application to ISBE to be considered for a funding opportunity. This date serves as a hard deadline to be considered for the funding opportunity.
  • Application Due Date (Formula/Continuation) The deadline for when grantees must submit an application to ISBE to receive the earliest possible grant start date. Applications submitted after this date can still be funded but will receive a grant start date that coincides with the date the application was submitted. For non-competitive grants, applications must be submitted by the date specified in an IWAS communication in order to be considered for the earliest possible start date.
  • Grant Period End Date The grant’s allowable conclusion date for incurring costs and performing work associated with a funding opportunity. This serves as the final date for the grant. All original grant applications and amendments are due to ISBE at least 30 days prior to the project end date.
  • Summer Extension Date Where appropriate, ISBE program areas may extend the application submission date for grantees.
  • Eligible Applicants A high-level description of the entities allowed to submit an application for a funding opportunity.​
