2025 Continuation GSC Competition (Not common)

RFA Opens: April 4, 2025
RFA Closes: April 30, 2025

Eligibility: ONLY for schools that have previously held a CSP (Charter Schools Program) grant under the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). This competition is designed for a small, select group of schools that are continuing their journey with CSP funding.

Important: 

  • This is a RARE opportunity and not commonly available.
  • Limited to a small, exclusive group of schools that have already received CSP funding from the Colorado Department of Education.
  • If your school meets the eligibility criteria, we encourage you to apply.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE: 

  • All funding is contingent on the receipt of federal funds to CLCS. Being awarded the grant will not guarantee that the applicant/charter school will receive funds. The CSP grant may be suspended, halted, and/or discontinued at any point.‹
  • The CSP Grant is a pass-through reimbursement grant that is contingent on the appropriation of money for the grant and the availability of federal funds.
