The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) High School Equivalency Program (HEP), CFDA 84.141A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education intended to help eligible individuals earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. The core aim is not only completion of a high school equivalency credential, but also helping participants move into tangible next steps after earning it, including better employment outcomes, enlistment in military service, or placement into an institution of higher education (IHE) or other postsecondary education or training.

This opportunity was published as a funding announcement with the reminder that the brief summary provided in the listing is only a synopsis, and that the legally controlling and complete requirements are contained in the official Federal Register application notice. Applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register for full details on eligibility, pre-application and application requirements, submission procedures, required performance measures, any competitive priorities, and program contact information. The notice also points applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003) for standard federal submission and procedural requirements, including where and how to obtain and submit applications.

In terms of who can apply, the eligible applicant categories are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, as long as they are not IHEs within those nonprofit categories), and additional entities referenced under an "Others" category that requires checking the official notice for clarification. The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the funding activity falls under education. The opportunity number is ED GRANTS 020819 001, and it is administered by the Department of Education.

Key dates for this competition were laid out clearly. Applications became available on February 8, 2019, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on April 9, 2019. The deadline for Intergovernmental Review was June 10, 2019. To support applicants before submission, the Department scheduled a pre-application workshop delivered via webinar on February 20, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, which is meant to help prospective applicants understand the program and the application process.

On anticipated award details, the listing states an award ceiling of $475,000 and an expectation of 14 awards. While the synopsis does not describe a floor, cost-share, or multi-year structure, those details, if applicable, would be found in the official Federal Register notice and any associated application package instructions.

Overall, this HEP funding opportunity is focused on building or expanding programs that guide eligible participants through preparation for a high school equivalency credential and then support their transition into employment, military service, or further education and training. Anyone considering applying is expected to rely on the Federal Register notice and the Department's common discretionary grant instructions for the full set of rules, required application components, and evaluation criteria.
