Welcome to the agency’s web page of open grant opportunities. Our goal is to provide easy, one-stop access to open grant opportunities (federal, state, and privately funded) offered by the SCDE that includes all pertinent application requirements.

If you have started and saved an application form for a grant/subgrant, be sure to log-in to access the form at least once before 30 days elapse from the last time you saved the form. Forms expire from inactivity after 30 days and there is nothing staff at the South Carolina Department of Education can do to recover expired forms.

Closed grant opportunities are available using the “SCDE Archived Grant Opportunities” link. These may help you prepare for the next available funding round.

For grant writing resources, program planning tools, and grant announcements from external funders, visit the Office of Grants Services web site.

NOTE: The SCDE does not provide personal financial assistance. To learn where you may find personal help, please visit USA.gov. To report fraud, please contact the South Carolina Office of the Inspector General.
