    Funding previously allocated to school districts through the Carol M. White Physical Education Program under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) will no longer exist with the enactment of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).


    School health, physical education and physical activity programs will have access to significant funding under Title IV of ESSA. Block grants will be distributed to states under the Safe and Healthy Students program. School districts and schools will apply to their state department of education for funding for a wide range of safety, health and school-climate programs, to include health education and physical education. The process for accessing these funds is still being developed by Congress and the U.S. Department of Education, please check you state's department of education website for updates.

    Award Details

    The estimated available funds for FY2016 is $23,000,000. Awards range from $200,000 - $800,000, with an estimated average award of $500,000. The estimated number of awards given will be 15, with a 36 month project period. OESE expects to make awards under this competition for the complete 3 years using FY 2016 funds.

    Cost Sharing or Matching:  Federal share of the project costs may not exceed 90% of the total cost of a program for the first year for which the program receives assistance and 75% of such costs for the second and each subsequent year.
