Subject: DOE Postsecondary Basic Needs Grant Release

Joe, Yokiko & Christine -

I just posted the following grant application information to our Canvas Community. This could be a great opportunity for colleges to support the continued efforts in meeting students' basic needs since we know the funding we have is not nearly enough. Feel free to share.


Happy Friday all!

Sharing here with you that the Department of Ed has released a federal grant application for postsecondary education basic needs. We know there is a high level of basic needs across our system and the compounding impacts of COVID continue to be seen and this can be another opportunity for institutions of higher education to support their ability to meet the continued needs of students.

I have included some high-level information below along with links and resources to national data, SBCTC data, and to the Federal Register Grant Announcement that will give you full information for the application.

The Basic Needs for Postsecondary Students Program provides grants to eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) to support programs that address the basic needs of students and to report on practices that improve outcomes for students.

2.      Housing.
3.      Transportation.
4.      Health, including access to mental health support.
