GrantConnecticut Open Choice Program Grant-in-Aid — RFP 860
Atlas Opportunity Score76/100
FundingThe current CSDE 2026 RFP listing does not state the statewide funding pool or a per-applicant ceiling. Applicants should use the current RFP 860 application as the controlling source for budget limits and allowable costs; Atlas does not recycle prior-year dollar assumptions.
DeadlineSeptember 25, 2026; the current CSDE public listing does not state a closing time
Required next actionConfirm the organization is an eligible direct applicant under the current RFP 860 application, identify the Open Choice student population and the specific wrap-around supports to be funded, verify current allowable costs and award limits in the controlling application, build the service plan and budget around tutoring, family engagement, experiential learning, college/career readiness or other authorized supports, and submit by September 25, 2026.
