Broad Eligibility
CSDE identifies this as the Open Choice Program Grant-in-Aid supporting students in the Open Choice Program. The current public 2026 RFP summary does not restate the complete direct-applicant eligibility table, so organizations should confirm current eligibility in the controlling RFP 860 application rather than extrapolate from prior-year requirements.
Atlas Analysis
A verified Connecticut school-support opportunity focused on comprehensive wrap-around services for Open Choice students. The strongest projects will connect a clearly defined student need to measurable academic and social outcomes through tutoring, family engagement, experiential learning, college/career readiness or other authorized supports. Atlas keeps the record intentionally conservative because CSDE's current public summary verifies the purpose and September 25 deadline but does not publish the current funding ceiling or full eligibility table. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit is low because the verified scope is educational and student-support oriented rather than clinical technology procurement.
