Charter Schools Program Grant
The Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant provides federal funding to support the creation, expansion, and replication of public charter schools through a competitive subgrant program.
Supporting the growth of high-quality public charter schools in New Jersey
On September 30, 2020, the New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association (NJPCSA) was awarded a $63.2 million Charter School Program (CSP) grant from the US Department of Education to catalyze the growth of high-quality public charter school options across the state. NJPCSA will act as a pass-through entity, using federal funds to administer a competitive subgrant program for which the operators of new, expanding, and replicating schools will be eligible.
