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 authoritative CSDE 2026 RFP listing does not publish an exact closing time or time zone
Required next actionKeep this record in draft until the current RFP 860 application can be fully reviewed for direct-applicant eligibility, funding limits, allowable costs, submission mechanics, required forms and attachments, and any amendments. The authoritative CSDE listing confirms the opportunity and September 25, 2026 deadline but does not publish an exact closing time or time zone, so new applicant outreach is blocked under the Connecticut lane rules even after publication becomes supportable.
