The purpose of Indian Education
Formula Grant to Local Agencies, as authorized under section 6116
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is to assist
grantees to provide Indian students with the opportunity to meet
the same challenging state standards as all other students and meet
the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of
American Indian and Alaska Native students. The Indian Education
Formula Grant (CFDA 84.060A), is neither competitive nor
discretionary and requires the annual submission of the application
from either a local education agency, tribe, Indian organization or
Indian community based organization. The amount of the award for
each applicant is determined by a formula based on the reported
number of American Indian/Alaska Native students identified in the
application, the state per pupil expenditure, and the total
appropriation available. The Office of Indian Education (OIE) of
The Department of Education (ED) collects annual performance data
within the same system that collects the annual application. The
application and the annual performance report are both be housed in
the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) Submission System. The
524B Annual Performance Report (APR) was designed for discretionary
grants, however the title VI program is a formula grant program.
The EASIE APR goes beyond the generic 524B APR and facilitates the
collection of more specific and comprehensive data due to grantees
entering project specific data into an online database.
