Accessing
the Application
To
access the grant application and supporting materials, go to the TEA Grant Opportunities page and select “2017-2018
Project SERV Hurricane Recovery Grant” from the ‘Application Name’ drop down
box. It is listed alphabetically.
Once
you get to the page for the Project SERV grant, the paper application and
instructions can be found in the section called ‘Application and Support Information’.
Once completed, the application must be mailed to TEA. Mailing instructions are
listed on the first page of the application at the top.
General
Allowable Activities
The
Program Guidelines for the 2017-2018 Project SERV Hurricane Recovery Grant
outline general allowable activities under three specific categories:
- Counseling
- Substitutes
and Other Staff
- Transportation
and Other Costs
If
you select an activity already pre-printed under one of these categories, it
can be quickly approved during the negotiation process. However, if you
indicate an activity in your application under “other”, TEA must consult with
the U.S. Department of Education to determine whether it is allowable under the
grant. This will delay the processing of your application. Please carefully
review both the allowable and unallowable activities listed in the Program
Guidelines.
