Atlas Opportunity Score72/100
FundingMDE FY26 guidance identifies $53.5 million in the original statewide Section 31aa(4) allocation ($50 million School Aid Fund plus $3.5 million General Fund). The public current-round materials reviewed do not state the remaining current-round balance or a universal per-applicant ceiling; verify current NexSys budget limits.
DeadlineOctober 5, 2026. MDE's live Grants Spotlight lists the current application period as September 1 through October 5, 2026. It does not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone.
Required next actionOpen the live NexSys Section 31aa(4) application and verify the exact October 5 closing time and time zone, current-round available funding and applicant-level budget limits, required uploads, current scoring criteria, certifications, and any amendments. Use current-round materials rather than the older FY26 FAQ's superseded March 30-May 3 application dates. New cold outreach remains blocked until MDE authoritatively establishes the exact closing time and time zone with at least 48 hours remaining.
