“Federal budgets are an expression of values. This proposal reflects the Biden-Harris Administration’s 

deep belief in the importance of education and the success and wellbeing of our nation’s students. It’s my 

hope that Congress answers the President’s call for continued investments that help our schools hire and 

support more teachers, school counselors, and other personnel who can nurture the social, emotional, and 

academic development and mental well-being of our children and youth in this critical time and beyond. 

Across the country, we must focus our efforts on recovery. That means ensuring all students—especially 

those from underserved communities and those most impacted by the pandemic—receive the resources they 

need to thrive. Importantly, this budget also invests in access to affordable higher education and the 

creation of stronger pathways that meet the demands of our workforce and connect students to well-paying 

jobs and fulfilling careers.”

-Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona

I. SUMMARY OF THE 2023 BUDGET REQUEST

The fiscal year 2023 Budget Request continues to make good on President Biden’s commitment to reverse

years of underinvestment in Federal education programs and, building on the fiscal year 2022 Budget

Request and investments in the American Rescue Plan, continues to address the significant inequities that

millions of students—disproportionately students of color—families, and educators confront every day in

underserved schools and colleges across America. While the main challenge over the past two years has

been safely re-opening schools for in-person instruction, the COVID-19 pandemic has also changed the

education landscape moving forward. The fiscal year 2023 President’s Budget for the Department of

Education would make historic investments in the Nation’s future prosperity including by increasing aid

for schools with high-poverty rates; helping meet the needs of students with disabilities; and expanding

access to higher education and increasing college completion.

Overall, the fiscal year 2023 Budget requests $88.3 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of

Education, a $15.3 billion or 20.9 percent increase from the 2021 enacted level (less rescissions).

The President is also committed to working with Congress to enact his plan to lower costs for American

families and expand the productive capacity of the American economy. This plan includes proposals to cut

college costs, including through tuition-free community college and expanded support for Historically

Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and

minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and support families with access to free, high-quality preschool. The

fiscal year 2023 Budget Request includes the following key initiatives:

K-12 EDUCATION

PROPOSES HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN SCHOOLS WITH HIGH-POVERTY RATES

To advance the goal of providing a high-quality education to every student, the Budget includes 

$36.5 billion for Title I, including $20.5 billion in discretionary funding and $16 billion in mandatory 

funding, which more than doubles the program’s funding compared to the 2021 enacted level. Title I helps 

schools provide students from low-income communities the learning opportunities and supports they need 

to succeed. This substantial new support for the program, which serves 25 million students in nearly 90 

percent of school districts across the Nation, would be a major step toward fulfilling the President’s 

commitment to addressing long-standing funding disparities between under-resourced schools – which 

disproportionately serve students of color – and their wealthier counterparts. 

6
PRIORITIZES THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS

Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to take a toll on the physical and mental health of 

students, educators, and school staff. Recognizing the profound effect of physical and mental health on 

student social, emotional, and academic success, among other investments, the Budget includes a $1 billion 

investment to increase the number of counselors, nurses, school psychologists, social workers, and other 

health professionals in schools.

INCREASES SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

The President is committed to ensuring that children and youth with disabilities receive the services and 

support they need to thrive in school and graduate ready for college or a career. The Budget provides an 

additional $3.3 billion over 2021 enacted levels – the largest two-year increase ever – for Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Grants to States, with a total of $16.3 billion to support special education 

and related services for students in grades Pre-K through 12. The Budget also doubles funding to $932 

million for IDEA Part C grants, which support early intervention services for infants and families with 

disabilities that have a proven record of improving academic and developmental outcomes. The increased 

funding would support States in implementing critical reforms to expand their enrollment of underserved 

children, including children of color, children from low-income backgrounds and children living in rural 

areas. The increase also includes $200 million to expand and streamline enrollment of children at risk of 

developing disabilities, which would help mitigate the need for more extensive services later in childhood 

and further expand access to the program for underserved children. The Budget also more than doubles 

funding to $250 million for IDEA Part D Personnel Preparation grants to support a pipeline of special 

educators at a time when the majority of states are experiencing a shortage of special educators.

DRAMATICALLY EXPANDS SUPPORT FOR FULL SERVICE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Community schools play a critical role in providing comprehensive integrated support services to students 

and their families, such as health and nutrition services and adult education opportunities; expanded 

enrichment and learning opportunities such as afterschool programs; strong family and community 

engagement; and collaborative leadership and practices for educators, which together have proven to 

improve academic outcomes for students. The Budget includes $468 million for this program, an increase 

of $438 million above the 2021 enacted level. Within this increase, $25 million would help school 

districts design and implement integrated student supports focused on addressing a range of student and 

family needs including meeting student social, emotional, mental health, physical health, and academic 

needs and providing resources and services to meet family needs, including through cross-agency efforts 

and partnerships with community-based organizations and other family support providers external to the 

school site.

INVESTS IN EDUCATOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

While the education sector has faced shortages in critical staffing areas for decades, which 

disproportionately impact students of color and students from low-income backgrounds, the COVID-19 

pandemic and tight labor market has made shortages worse, negatively impacting the education students 

receive and continuing to fall hardest on students in underserved communities. In addition to comprehensive 

investments across several programs to support a diverse and well-prepared pipeline of educators, the 

Budget includes $514 million for the Education Innovation and Research program, of which the Department 

would target $350 million towards identifying and scaling models that improve recruitment and retention 

of staff in education, including models that would improve resources and support for educators, and provide 

teacher access to leadership opportunities that improve teacher retention and expand the impact of great 

teachers within and beyond their classrooms.

7
SUPPORTS MULTILANGUAGE LEARNERS

Students who are English learners (ELs) were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, 

including multiple transitions to and from remote learning during the pandemic. The Budget would provide 

$1.075 billion for the English Language Acquisition (ELA) program, $278 million above the 2021 enacted 

level, or a 35 percent increase, including additional funding to provide technical assistance and build local 

capacity to better support multilanguage learners and their teachers. The ELA program helps students 

learning English attain English proficiency and achieve academic success.

FOSTERS DIVERSE SCHOOLS

The segregation of students by race and income undermines the promise made nearly 70 years ago following 

the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that public schools provide an equal 

opportunity for all students to learn and succeed. The Budget includes $100 million for a grant program to 

help communities voluntarily develop and implement strategies to promote racial and socioeconomic 

diversity in their schools and classrooms. The program would require applicants to demonstrate meaningful 

and ongoing community engagement throughout the development and implementation of their plans. 

BRIDGING THE EDUCATION PIPELINE

REIMAGINES THE HIGH SCHOOL TO POSTSECONDARY TRANSITION

Reimagining traditional educational pathways to improve equitable opportunities is a critical component of 

the President’s vision to increase successful outcomes for all students. The Budget provides an additional 

$200 million investment focused on a new Career-Connected High Schools initiative to support competitive 

grants to partnerships of local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and employers to 

increase the integration and alignment of the last two years of high school and the first two years of 

postsecondary education, in order to improve postsecondary and career outcomes for all students, including 

students of color and students from low-income backgrounds. 

AN EDUCATION BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL

PROPOSES HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY

To increase equitable and affordable access to an education beyond high school, the Budget would increase 

the maximum Pell Grant by $2,175 over the 2021-2022 award year, through a combination of discretionary 

and mandatory funding, helping an estimated 6.7 million students from low- and middle-income 

backgrounds overcome financial barriers. This historic increase is one piece of the Budget’s comprehensive

proposal to double the maximum Pell Grant by 2029. In addition to these critical investments, the 

Administration continues to support expanding federal student aid, including Pell Grant eligibility, to 

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, commonly known as DREAMers. 

MAKES SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS TO POSTSECONDARY COMPLETION AND STUDENT BASIC

NEEDS

The President is committed to not only ensuring an education beyond high school is accessible and 

affordable, but that students are provided with the equitable access to resources and supports to persist and 

complete. The Budget supports strategies to improve the retention, transfer, and completion rates of students 

by creating a Retention and Completion Grant program in the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary 

8
Education (FIPSE) using a tiered evidence model. The proposed investments in the Budget also promote 

academic success by providing critical resources to support students’ basic needs, including a $40 million 

increase to institutions providing affordable child care for low-income student parents. In addition, the 

request includes significant increases for Federal TRIO programs and GEAR UP to expand services that 

promote access and completion in higher education for underserved individuals. 

INCREASES EQUITABLE FUNDING FOR HBCUS, TCCUS, AND MSIS

The Budget would enhance institutional capacity at HBCUs, TCCUs, MSIs, and low-resourced institutions, 

including community colleges, by providing an increase of $752 million over the 2021 enacted level. This 

funding includes a $450 million initiative to expand research and development infrastructure at four-year 

HBCUs, TCCUs, and MSIs.

PRIORITIZES THE NEEDS OF STUDENT BORROWERS

The Budget provides $2.65 billion to the Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), 

an $800 million increase compared to the 2021 enacted level. The additional funding is needed to better 

serve students and borrowers as they finance their postsecondary education and at every stage of repayment. 

Specifically, the increase allows FSA to implement customer service and accountability improvements to 

student loan servicing and ensure the successful transition from the current short-term loan servicing 

contracts to a more stable long-term contract and servicing environment. The increase is also critical to 

ensure full implementation of the FAFSA® Simplification Act for the 2024–25 award year.

BOLSTERS OUR NATION’S SKILLED WORKFORCE WITH EXPANSIONS TO CAREER AND 

TECHNICAL TRAINING AND ADULT EDUCATION

As our economy continues its rapid recovery, the Budget makes significant investments in the long-term 

sustainability of our nation’s skilled workforce. In addition to expanding access to career training programs 

by making significant investments in community colleges, the Budget also proposes new grants supporting

adult learners through a College Bridge Initiative and new grants to support disconnected youth without a 

high school diploma. 

INCREASES SUPPORT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT 

The Budget provides $161 million to the Department’s Office for Civil Rights, a 23 percent increase 

compared to the 2021 enacted level. This additional funding would ensure that the Department has the 

capacity to protect equal access to education through the enforcement of civil rights laws, such as Title IX 

of the Education Amendments of 1972. 

9
II. THE 2023 EDUCATION BUDGET BY PROGRAM AREA

A. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION

OVERVIEW

President Biden’s fiscal year 2023 Request for Elementary and Secondary Education programs addresses 

longstanding equity gaps in our education system, beginning with State and local education finance systems 

that underfund school districts and schools that enroll high proportions of students of color and students 

from low-income backgrounds; a teacher pay gap that undermines the recruitment and retention of qualified 

and effective teachers; a lack of equitable access to and preparation for rigorous coursework that sets 

students up for college and careers; and the need for high-quality, universal preschool programs, regardless 

of a child’s race, zip code, or family income. The following major investments would help close these 

equity gaps and help ensure that all students—including students from low-income backgrounds and 

students of color and those in underserved communities—receive the social, emotional, mental health, and 

academic supports they need to thrive in school and achieve their dreams.

• Critical investments in equitable access to the learning opportunities students need to succeed:

o $36.5 billion for Title I, including $20.5 billion in discretionary funding and $16 billion in 

mandatory funding, which more than doubles the program’s funding compared to the 2021 

enacted level. This historic level of additional funding would help schools with high rates 

of poverty make critically-needed new investments, including hiring and paying educators

and staff a competitive wage and supporting their professional growth; increasing access 

to a well-rounded education, including a rigorous and engaging curriculum; creating safe 

and inclusive learning environments; and expanding access to preschool. The proposed 

increase reflects the President’s commitment to address longstanding inequities in our 

education system, including through a $100 million set-aside to support voluntary state 

and local efforts to identify and close State and local funding gaps in educational resources

and opportunities. 

o $1.1 billion for English Language Acquisition State Grants, an increase of $278 million, 

or 35 percent, over the 2021 enacted level to significantly strengthen State and local 

capacity to meet the needs of ELs and their teachers, including through a greater emphasis 

on multilingualism that embraces students’ native and home languages as a strength they 

bring to their school communities. The request also includes a $50 million set-aside for 

additional support to States with local educational agencies that enrolled significant 

numbers of immigrant children and youth in recent years. 

o $161 million for ED’s Office for Civil Rights, a $30 million increase compared to the 2021 

enacted level, to provide sufficient staffing and other capacity for monitoring, technical 

assistance, data collection, and enforcement. 

o $100 million for a new Fostering Diverse Schools program that would help communities 

voluntarily develop and implement strategies that will build more racially and 

socioeconomically diverse schools and classrooms, and $149 million, an increase of $40

million, to support the Magnet Schools Assistance Program. 

10
• Critical investments to meet the social, emotional, mental health, and academic needs of students:

o $1 billion for a new School-Based Health Professionals program to support the mental 

health needs of our students and their families by increasing the number of counselors, 

nurses, and health professionals in our schools, and building the pipeline for these critical 

staff, with an emphasis on schools serving underserved students. 

o $468 million, an increase of $438 million over the 2021 enacted level, to dramatically 

expand the Full-Service Community Schools program, which recognizes the role of 

schools as the centers of our communities and neighborhoods, and funds efforts to identify 

and integrate the wide range of community-based resources needed to support students 

and their families, expand learning opportunities for students and parents alike, support 

collaborative leadership and practices, and promote the family and community 

engagement that can help ensure student success. Within this increase, $25 million would 

help school districts design and implement integrated student supports focused on 

addressing a range of student and family needs including meeting student social, 

emotional, mental health, physical health, and academic needs and providing resources 

and services to meet family needs, including through cross-agency efforts and partnerships 

with community-based organizations and other family support providers external to the 

school site. 

• Critical investments in building a more diverse, well-prepared, supported, and effective teacher 

workforce and strengthening school leadership:

o $514 million for Education Innovation and Research for fiscal year 2023, an increase of 

$320 million over the 2021 enacted level, to support projects that identify and scale up 

evidence-based strategies to elevate and strengthen a teacher workforce hit hard by 

COVID-19. With local education jobs down by 376,000, or nearly 5 percent, since the 

beginning of the pandemic, these funds would support efforts to stabilize the profession 

through improved support for educators and expanded professional growth opportunities, 

including access to leadership opportunities that can lead to increased pay and improved 

retention for fully certified, experienced, and effective teachers. 

o $132.1 million for Teacher Quality Partnerships, an increase of $80 million over the 2021 

enacted level, to support comprehensive pathways into the profession, such as high-quality 

residencies and Grow Your Own programs, that support educator diversity, improve 

teacher effectiveness, and increase teacher retention. 

o $20 million for the Augustus F. Hawkins Centers of Excellence to help expand the 

diversity of the teacher workforce through competitive grants to HBCUs, TCCUs, and

MSIs to support teacher preparation (see Higher Education Programs). 

o $250 million for IDEA, Part D, more than doubling current investments, to support the 

pipeline of special education teachers and personnel. 

o $40 million to reestablish funding for the reauthorized School Leader Recruitment and 

Support program.

Request

Discretionary BA in millions $16,536.8 $16,536.8 $20,536.8

Mandatory BA in millions — — $16,000.0

Title I Grants to LEAs provide supplemental education funding, especially in communities of concentrated 

poverty, for local programs that provide extra academic support to help students in high-poverty schools 

meet challenging State academic standards. The Request maintains strong support for the Title I program, 

which serves an estimated 25 million students in nearly 90 percent of school districts and nearly 60 percent 

of all public schools. LEAs can use Title I funds flexibly for locally determined programs and interventions 

across a broad range of areas, including through schoolwide programs that allow Federal and other funds 

to be consolidated and leveraged for comprehensive school reforms. The fiscal year 2023 request proposes 

to reserve $100 million for direct grants to States to implement voluntary School Funding Equity 

Commissions and to LEAs to implement voluntary resource equity reviews. 

FULL-SERVICE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS (FSCS)

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions $30.0 $30.0 $468.0

FSCS makes competitive 5-year grants to school districts—in partnership with community-based 

organizations, nonprofit organizations, or other public or private entities—to provide comprehensive 

academic, social, and health services in school settings for students, students’ family members, and 

community members by integrating existing school and community programs and implementing 

coordinated strategies that can impact neighborhoods with high rates of poverty, childhood obesity, 

academic failure, and involvement of community members in the justice system. The proposed increase

reflects the growing recognition that students and families in high-poverty communities need 

comprehensive social, emotional, and mental health services to support improved academic outcomes, and

that schools are ideally situated to provide such supports in these communities. In particular, the disruptions 

to education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic provided a vivid demonstration of the importance of our 

schools to the social and economic fabric of our communities, both during the pandemic and as we work 

toward a full recovery. Within this increase, $25 million would help school districts design and implement 

integrated student supports focused on addressing a range of student and family needs including meeting 

student social, emotional, mental health, physical health, and academic needs and providing resources and 

services to meet family needs, including through cross-agency efforts and partnerships with communitybased organizations and other family support providers external to the school site. The Request would

support an expanded cohort of grantees that would support up to 2.5 million students, family members, and 

community members in an estimated 800 new community schools.

organizations, to support centers that provide additional student learning opportunities through before- and 

after-school programs and summer school programs aimed at improving student academic outcomes. 

Centers, which also may offer training in parenting skills and family literacy services, must target their 

services primarily to students who attend schools identified for improvement under Title I of the ESEA or 

other schools determined by local educational agencies (LEAs) to be in need of assistance. 

SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION STATE GRANTS

This program, authorized under ESEA’s Title II-A, provides formula grants to State educational agencies 

(SEAs), which then subgrant most funds to local educational agencies, to support activities designed to 

increase student achievement by improving the effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school 

leaders; increase the number of teachers, principals, and other school leaders who are effective in improving 

student academic achievement in schools; provide students from low-income backgrounds and students of 

color greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders; and reduce class size. SEAs 

and LEAs have flexibility to carry out a wide variety of activities based on identified needs. 

TEACHER AND SCHOOL LEADER INCENTIVE GRANTS

The Teacher and School Leader Incentive Grants (TSL) program makes competitive awards to help 

develop, implement, improve, or expand human capital management systems or performance-based 

compensation systems. Allowable uses of funds include implementing career advancement opportunities 

for effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders; improving LEA processes for recruiting, 

selecting, placing, supporting, and retaining effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders in highneed schools; and providing principals with the tools needed to make school-level decisions that build highperforming instructional leadership teams. New awards would be likely to be focused on providing 

opportunities for educators to take on leadership roles in their schools and districts, and be compensated for 

those additional responsibilities, and to promote greater diversity in the educator workforce.

The SEED program provides competitive grants to institutions of higher education, national nonprofit 

entities, and the Bureau of Indian Education to support evidence-based professional development activities, 

including those leading to an advanced credential, as well as non-traditional preparation and certification 

pathways that allow teachers, principals, or other school leaders to obtain employment in traditionally 

underserved local educational agencies. The request would support continuation awards that help advance 

President Biden’s equity agenda and commitment to evidence-based practices.

SCHOOL LEADER RECRUITMENT AND SUPPORT

2021 2022

The School Leader Recruitment and Support program, which was last funded in 2017, provides competitive 

grants LEAs, SEAs, the BIE, or consortia of one of those entities with nonprofit organizations or IHEs to

improve the recruitment, preparation, placement, support, and retention of effective principals or other 

school leaders in high-need schools. Funds would support new grants for high-quality professional 

development for principals and other school leaders as well as high-quality training for aspiring principals 

and school leaders.

SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions — — $1,000.0

The Administration requests $1 billion in funding for the proposed School-Based Health Professionals 

(SBHP) program in fiscal year 2023, consistent with President Biden’s commitment to double the number 

of school counselors, nurses, social workers, and school psychologists in LEAs and schools over the next 

decade. Funds would be allocated to SEAs on the basis of shares of funding received under Title I, Part A 

of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). SEAs would be permitted to reserve up to 

15 percent of their allocations to address shortages of health professionals by establishing partnerships with 

institutions of higher education to recruit, prepare, and place graduate students in school-based health fields 

in high-need LEAs. SEAs would use at least 80 percent of their allocations to make competitive grants to 

LEAs, with a priority on LEAs with significant numbers of schools identified for improvement under the 

ESEA, to help close gaps in the recommended ratios of students to health professionals. Grants to LEAs 

would be used to pay recruitment costs, salaries, retention efforts such as additional supports, and related 

personnel costs.

Request

BA in millions $797.4 $797.4 $1,075.0

This program awards formula grants to States based on each State’s share of the Nation’s English learners 

(ELs) and recent immigrant students. Schools use this funding to implement effective language instruction 

educational programs designed to help ELs attain English language proficiency. The program also awards 

grants to schools operated predominantly for Native American and Alaska Native students and supports 

national activities, including professional development for teachers of ELs and a clearinghouse of researchbased information about instructional methods, strategies, and programs for ELs. The proposed increase 

would significantly strengthen State and local capacity to meet the needs of ELs and their teachers, 

including through a greater emphasis on multilingualism that embraces students’ native and home 

languages as a strength they bring to their school communities. In addition, a new $50 million set-aside 

would support States with local educational agencies that enrolled at least 100 immigrant children and youth 

and States with counties where 50 or more unaccompanied children have been released to sponsors from 

the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement since January 1, 2021.

The proposed Fostering Diverse Schools program would address the well-documented, persistent negative 

effects of racial isolation and concentrated poverty by supporting voluntary efforts to increase school racial 

and socioeconomic diversity in preschool through grade 12. The program would make competitive awards 

to LEAs—alone, in consortia, or in partnership with State educational agencies—that have significant 

achievement gaps and racial or socioeconomic segregation within or across districts. Program funds would 

support voluntary planning grants and, for applicants with well-designed plans, implementation grants to 

carry out activities in those plans, including, for example open enrollment, that promote racial and 

socioeconomic diversity in schools or other student-assignment policies that consider the socioeconomic 

status or neighborhood of residence of students.

Charter Schools Grants support the startup of new charter schools and the replication and expansion of 

high-quality charter schools serving students in prekindergarten through grade 12. Funds also support grants 

to improve charter schools’ access to facilities and information dissemination and evaluation activities. The 

Request would give the Department greater flexibility to adjust spending in response to demand across the 

program components and prohibit program funds from being awarded to charter schools managed or 

operated by for-profit entities. The Request would also continue and build on the Department’s efforts to 

ensure that program funds support schools that are opened and operated with demonstrated family and 

community support, do not contribute to racial and socioeconomic segregation based on community 

demographics, provide meaningful access to instruction for students with disabilities and English learners, 

maintain diverse educator workforces, and are subject to strong accountability, transparency, and oversight.

Migrant Education State Grants provide formula-based assistance in meeting the educational needs of 

children of migratory agricultural workers and fishers, including overcoming educational disruption and 

other challenges resulting from repeated moves, so that these students can meet the same academic 

standards expected of all children. During school year 2019-20, States and local entities provided services

under this program to 200,732 identified migratory children ages birth through 21 years old. Services 

included supplemental instruction in reading, math, and other academic areas, as well as high school credit 

accrual. Program funds were also used to provide educationally related services such as counseling, health 

17
and nutrition services, advocacy, and referrals for migratory students with disabilities, and (especially in 

the summer) transportation. The Department uses a portion of funding to improve inter- and intra-State

Based on 2018 data from the National Center for Education Statistics, 28 percent of the Nation’s public 

schools were located in rural areas, with 19 percent of all public school students enrolled at these schools. 

The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) supports two programs to help rural school districts 

carry out activities to improve the quality of teaching and learning in their schools. The Small, Rural School 

Achievement program provides formula funds to rural school districts that serve small numbers of students, 

and the Rural and Low-Income School program provides funds to rural school districts that serve 

concentrations of poor students, regardless of the district’s size. Funds appropriated for REAP are divided 

equally between the two programs. The Request would increase support for rural, often geographically 

isolated, districts that face significant challenges in meeting ESEA requirements.

reforms underway in States and localities to help ensure that these reforms benefit Indian students, enabling 

them to master the same challenging academic standards as other students by better meeting their 

educational and cultural needs.

Grants to Local Educational Agencies provide formula grants to LEAs and to schools funded or operated 

by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education for activities to improve the educational 

achievement of Indian students. Funds would support supplemental educational services to a disadvantaged 

population that is heavily affected by poverty and low educational attainment, providing an average 

estimated per-pupil payment of $246 for approximately 450,000 eligible American Indian and Alaska 

Native elementary and secondary students nationwide.

Total 378.0 378.0 378.0

The Request would help States continue to administer aligned assessment systems as part of their ongoing 

implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act. Annual, high-quality, statewide assessments aligned to 

challenging State academic standards are a critical element of the statewide accountability systems that 

20
each State must establish under the Act, providing parents and educators with information they need to 

understand whether students are meeting State-determined college- and career-ready academic standards. 

State assessments also help identify schools that are meeting these standards and schools where additional 

resources and supports may be needed to improve educational opportunity and academic achievement. The

The Javits Gifted and Talented Education program supports a coordinated program of research, 

demonstration projects, innovative strategies, and other activities to build and enhance the capacity of 

elementary and secondary schools to identify gifted and talented students and meet their special educational 

needs. Funds may be used for, among other things, establishing and operating gifted and talented education 

programs, which may include innovative methods and strategies for identifying and teaching students 

traditionally underserved in such programs. The Request would support the Administration’s goal of 

providing equitable access to educational opportunity for all students, including underserved student

Payments for Federal Property 76.3 76.3 76.3

Total 1,501.1 1,501.1 1,541.1

Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.

The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal activities. The 

presence of certain children living on Federal property across the country can place a financial burden on 

the LEAs that educate them because such property is exempt from local property taxes, denying LEAs 

access to a key source of revenue used by most communities to finance education. Impact Aid helps replace 

the lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to LEAs to pay for the education of these children.

The Request would provide significant support for the education of almost 800,000 federally connected 

children in over 1,000 school districts. 

Basic Support Payments support federally connected children through both regular Basic Support Payments 

and Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs.

The Request for Payments for Children with Disabilities would support formula grants to help eligible 

districts meet their obligations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to provide a free 

appropriate public education for federally connected children with disabilities.

The Request for Facilities Maintenance would fund essential repair and maintenance of the nine school 

facilities serving large numbers of military dependents that are owned and operated by the Department of 

Education, while also supporting the transfer of these schools to local school districts.

The Request for Construction would be used for competitive grants to the LEAs with the greatest need and 

would provide sufficient assistance to enable those LEAs to make major repairs and renovations.

The Request for Payments for Federal Property would provide formula-based payments to LEAs that 

generally have lost 10 percent or more of their taxable property to the Federal Government.

The Request would include an increase adjusted for inflation since 2003 to maintain support for 

Supplemental Education Grants to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and the Republic of the 

Marshall Islands (RMI), as authorized by the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 (P.L. 

108-188). Under this program, the Department transfers funds and provides recommendations on the uses 

of those funds to the Department of the Interior, which makes grants to the FSM and the RMI for educational 

services that augment the general operations of the educational systems of the two entities.

25
B. SPECIAL EDUCATION AND REHABILITATION SERVICES

OVERVIEW

The Administration is committed to providing Americans with disabilities the opportunities and services 

they need to succeed in school, in the workplace, and in the community. The fiscal year 2023 President’s 

Budget supports a wide range of programs that can improve educational, developmental, employment, and 

independent living outcomes for people with disabilities. 

The $18.1 billion Request for Special Education programs focuses on improving educational and 

developmental outcomes for children with disabilities. For the Grants to States program, the 

Administration is requesting $16.3 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion over the 2021 enacted level. This 

funding level would represent the largest increase in the Federal contribution toward meeting the excess 

cost of special education in two decades and make a significant first step toward fully funding IDEA. 

Grants would cover nearly 15 percent of the national average per pupil expenditure and provide an 

estimated average of $2,199 per child for about 7.4 million children ages 3 through 21. This funding 

would support States and local educational agencies (LEAs) as they work to improve results for 

children with disabilities. The Request also includes $502.6 million for the Preschool Grants program, 

an increase of $105 million over the 2021 enacted level, and provide an average of $670 per child for 

over 750,000 children with disabilities expected to be served under the program in 2023. 

The Request includes $932.0 million for the Grants for Infants and Families program, nearly double the 

2021 enacted level. Ensuring infants and toddlers with disabilities are identified and receive services in a 

timely manner is crucial to improving long-term outcomes. The increased funding would also support States 

in implementing reforms to expand their enrollment of underserved children, including children of color, 

children from low-income backgrounds, and children living in rural areas. The increase also 

includes additional incentives to expand participation of children at risk of developing disabilities, which 

may help mitigate the need for more extensive services later in childhood and further expand access to 

the program for underserved children. The $412.7 million Request for Special Education National 

Activities would increase by $182.5 million from the 2021 enacted level to expand technical 

assistance, dissemination, training, and other activities that assist States, LEAs, parents, and others in 

improving results for children with disabilities. For the 2022-2023 school year, 44 States reported a 

shortage of qualified special education personnel. To help address these shortages and ensure every 

student with a disability has access to highly qualified personnel, the Request would increase funding 

for the Personnel Preparation program by $159.8 million from the 2021 enacted level. Furthermore, 

the Request provides historic increases for Parent Information Centers, which have seen a surge in 

demand over the last two years due, in part, to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For Rehabilitation Services, the Administration requests a total of $4.1 billion in mandatory and 

discretionary funds to support comprehensive and coordinated vocational rehabilitation services for 

individuals with disabilities through training, demonstration, and technical assistance, as well as other direct 

service programs to help individuals with disabilities to live more independently in their communities. The 

Request includes $3.9 billion in mandatory funds for the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) State Grants 

program, an increase of $230.6 million over the fiscal year 2021 enacted level, consistent with the 

inflationary increase required by the Rehabilitation Act. The Request also includes $40.8 million for the 

Demonstration and Training program, an increase of $35 million over the 2021 enacted level. The increased 

funding will support grants to VR agencies to spur innovative approaches and new partnerships aimed at 

addressing long-term barriers as well as novel challenges due to the pandemic that limit employment of 

individuals with disabilities. The Request also includes $18.5 million for the Helen Keller National Center, 

26
an increase of $1.5 million over the 2021 enacted level, and $500,000 for the newly proposed RandolphSheppard Vending Facility program, which would support a competitively awarded center that would 

provide training and technical assistance to State licensing agencies and blind vendors. 

The 2023 Request also includes increases of $3 million each for the American Printing House for the Blind, 

the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and Gallaudet University. 

GRANTS TO STATES

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions $12,937.5 $12,937.5 $16,259.0

The Grants to States program, which is authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 

(IDEA), makes formula grants that help States pay the additional costs of providing special education and 

related services to children with disabilities aged 3 through 21 years. The increased level proposed for fiscal 

year 2023 would support an estimated average per-child award of $2,199 for roughly 7.4 million children 

with disabilities, setting the Federal contribution to about 15 percent of the national average per pupil 

expenditure. This increase of $3.3 billion over 2021 enacted would represent the largest two-year increase 

ever for the program and make a significant first step toward fully funding IDEA. 

Under the IDEA, States are required to provide a free appropriate public education to all children with 

disabilities. Services are provided in accordance with individualized education programs that are developed 

by teams that include not less than the child’s parents, a special educator, a representative of the LEA, a 

regular educator, and the child with a disability as appropriate. In addition, services must be provided, to 

the maximum extent appropriate and in the least restrictive environment, which for most children means 

full participation in classes with children without disabilities. Students with disabilities also must be 

included in general State and district-wide assessments, including the assessments required under ESEA, 

and States must appropriately accommodate children with disabilities so they can participate in these 

assessments, or alternate assessments for those children with the most significant cognitive disabilities who 

cannot participate in regular assessments.

To address the fractured nature of early childhood and preschool services, the Request includes

appropriations language that would allow the Department to reserve up to $5 million in funds to study the 

implications of developing a comprehensive birth through age five system for children with disabilities that 

would offer coordinated, efficient and effective services. 

27
PRESCHOOL GRANTS

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions $397.6 $397.6 $502.6

This program provides formula grants to help States make a free appropriate public education available to 

all children with disabilities ages 3 through 5. The Requested funding, which supplements funds provided 

under the Grants to States program, would provide an estimated additional $623 per child for approximately 

806,000 children to supplement funds provided under the Grants to States program and help to ensure that 

young children with disabilities are ready to learn when they enter school. 

GRANTS FOR INFANTS AND FAMILIES

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions $481.9 $481.9 $932.0

This program provides formula grants to help States implement statewide systems of early intervention 

services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families so that State and local agencies identify 

and serve children with disabilities early in life when interventions can be most effective in improving 

educational outcomes. The Request would enable States to provide high-quality early intervention services 

to more than 500,000 infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The Request also includes a 

range of proposals designed to more equitably distribute funding, increase access to the program for infants 

and families who have been traditionally underrepresented in the program, expand services for at risk 

infants and toddlers, facilitate program entry for new parents, eliminate out-of-pocket costs for participating 

families, and promote continuity of services for eligible infants and their families.

The Request would also support incentive grants to States that exercise existing statutory flexibilities and 

expand enrollment to serve children at risk of developing disabilities or delays. Research has shown that 

the earlier provision of services leads to improved outcomes and can mitigate the need for more extensive 

services later in childhood. Additionally, expanding eligibility for at risk children can particularly benefit 

underserved children who, due to disparities in access to screening and pediatric care, are less likely to have 

delays or disabilities identified in a timely manner. 

STATE PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT

training programs. The Department uses requested funds to support (1) training for leadership personnel 

and personnel who work with children with low-incidence disabilities, (2) at least one activity in the broadly 

defined area of personnel development, and (3) enhanced support for beginning special educators. For the 

2022-2023 school year, 44 States reported a shortage of qualified special education personnel. The nearly 

$160 million increase proposed for fiscal year 2023 would be a historic investment in the personnel who

C. CAREER, TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION

OVERVIEW

A skilled workforce is critical for both strong communities and a strong economy, and the programs in this 

account support the President’s goal to invest in students and workers while building the capacity of the 

existing workforce development system. 

The fiscal year 2023 President’s Budget would provide a discretionary increase of $20 million for Career 

and Technical Education ( CTE) State grants, for a total request of $1.4 billion support the President’s goal 

to invest in workforce development and build the capacity of the existing workforce development system 

through CTE programs that help introduce students to careers as early as middle school; support attainment 

of both academic and career skills; help students learn about career pathways and attain credentials needed 

for careers; assist students in the transition from secondary education to postsecondary education and jobs; 

and help adults gain new skills and credentials needed to advance in their careers or pursue new career 

paths. 

The Request also would significantly expand CTE National Programs, providing an additional 

$208 million, with most funds focused on a new Career-Connected High Schools initiative to support

competitive grants to partnerships of local educational agencies, institutions of higher education (including 

community colleges, which are the primary partners in current pathways models), and employers to increase 

the integration and alignment of the last two years of high school and the first two years of postsecondary 

education to improve postsecondary and career outcomes for all students, including students of color and 

students from low-income backgrounds. Key activities would include dual enrollment in postsecondarylevel core content and career-connected coursework; work-based learning opportunities connected to 

programs of study; attainment of in-demand, career-related credentials; high-quality counseling and careernavigation supports; and educator professional development to support effective integration of academic 

and career-connected instruction across grades 11-14. As part of the Innovation and Modernization Grant 

Program, this initiative would include impact evaluations and build evidence of effectiveness for these 

activities. Remaining funds would be used for technical assistance, evaluation, and ongoing activities to 

support effective implementation of the CTE State Grants program. 

The Request recognizes the importance of Adult Education programs in helping to increase the number of 

adults who have the basic literacy and numeracy skills required to participate successfully in workforce 

education and training programs, including meeting the basic entrance requirements of apprenticeship 

programs. The Request would provide $700 million for Adult Education State Grants, an increase of 

$25 million over the 2021 enacted level. Adult Education National Leadership Activities would be funded 

at $38.7 million, with the $25 million increase over the 2021 enacted level focused on (1) scaling up college 

bridge programs for low-skilled adults without a high school degree or equivalency and (2) an initiative to 

help disconnected youth attain a secondary school diploma and support transitions.

an increase of $20 million over the 2021 enacted level. . The Request would support the President’s goal to 

invest in workforce development and build the capacity of the existing workforce development system. 

Funding would help State and local workforce training programs deliver on the promise of the 

Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act by better integrating academic and 

career and technical education; promoting student attainment of challenging academic standards along with 

technical skills; providing strong linkages between secondary and postsecondary education; helping prepare 

special populations for high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand industry sectors or occupations that will allow 

graduates to earn a living wage; and provide work-based learning opportunities and opportunities to gain 

postsecondary credit while still attending high school. 

The $215.4 million Request for CTE National Programs provides an increase of $208 million over the 2021 

enacted level. Of this increase, $200 million is for a new Career-Connected High Schools initiative to 

support competitive grants to partnerships of local educational agencies, institutions of higher education 

(including community colleges, which are the primary partners in current pathways models), and employers 

to increase the integration and alignment of the last two years of high school and the first two years of 

postsecondary education to improve postsecondary and career outcomes for all students, including students 

of color and students from low-income backgrounds. Key activities would include dual enrollment in 

postsecondary-level core content and career-connected coursework; work-based learning opportunities

2021 enacted level. The program assists adults without a high school diploma or the equivalent to become 

literate and obtain the skills necessary for postsecondary education, employment, and economic selfsufficiency. The proposed increase would help expand program services at the local level to increase the 

number of adults receiving services under the program. 

The $38.7 million Request for National Leadership Activities includes $15 million to scale up college 

bridge programs for low-skilled adults without a high school degree or equivalency, $10 million for an 

initiative focused on disconnected youth without a high school diploma, and continues support for State 

efforts to increase the literacy and workforce skills of adults and program evaluation.

D. STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

OVERVIEW

The Federal student aid programs provide grant, loan, and work-study assistance to help students afford a 

postsecondary education and realize the lifelong benefits of an education beyond high school such as 

financial stability. The Budget includes both discretionary and mandatory funding that would make 

available $126 billion in new Federal student aid to help nearly 9 million students and their families pay 

for college. 

The Administration’s fiscal year 2023 Budget provides discretionary funding to increase the maximum Pell 

Grant by $900—the largest one-time increase in the history of the program. This increase, together with the 

proposed $1,275 increase to the mandatory add-on award, represents a significant first step to deliver on 

the President’s goal to double the grant by 2029. The Budget would also provide new funding to expand 

institutional and student supports at community colleges, HBCUs, TCCUs, and MSIs. The Administration 

intends to work with Congress to ensure access to student financial aid for students who are Deferred Action 

for Childhood Arrivals recipients, commonly known as DREAMers. The Administration also looks forward 

to working with Congress on changes to the Higher Education Act that ease the burden of student debt, 

including through improvements to the Income Driven Repayment (IDR) and Public Service Loan 

Forgiveness (PSLF) programs. Specific policy proposals include: 

Doubling Pell Grants 

Pell Grants have been the foundation of low- and moderate-income students’ financial aid for decades. 

However, the value has diminished as college costs continue to rise. The Budget would set a maximum 

award of $8,670 for award year 2023-2024, an increase of $2,175 over the 2021-2022 award year. This 

historic increase is a significant down payment on the President’s commitment to doubling the grant. 

38
STUDENT AID SUMMARY TABLES (BUDGET AUTHORITY) 

Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.

1 Amounts appropriated for Pell Grants for 2021, 2022, and 2023 include mandatory funding provided in the Higher Education 

Act, as amended, to fund both the base maximum award and add-on award.

2 For budget and financial management purposes, this program is operated as a credit program under the Federal Credit Reform 

Act of 1990. Budget authority reflects the estimated net present value of future Federal non-administrative costs for awards made

in a given fiscal year. The 2021 amount includes a net upward reestimate of $75.1 million and a net upward modification of $46.9 

million. The upward net modification for 2021 reflects costs related to the extension of COVID-19 emergency relief measures on 

federal student loans and the cost of updated program regulations to improve the certification process and reduce grant to loan 

conversions. The 2022 amount includes a net upward re-estimate of $65.8 million and a net upward modification of $1.9 million. 

The upward net modification for 2022 reflects costs related to the extension of COVID-19 emergency relief measures on federal 

student loans through May 1, 2022 and the shift to Business Process Operations. The amount for 2023 reflects new loan subsidy.

3 Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) budget authority does not include the Liquidating account. The FFEL reestimates include 

the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act (ECASLA) reestimates. The 2021 amount includes a net upward reestimate 

of $3.2 billion and upward modification of $6.1 billion. The 2022 amount includes a net upward reestimate of $9.8 billion and an 

upward modification of $2.2 billion. The fiscal year 2021 and 2022 FFEL modifications reflect costs related to the extension of 

COVID-19 emergency relief measures on federal student loans through May 1, 2022. The FFEL modifications in fiscal year 2021 

also reflects costs associated with the regulatory action to clarify that borrowers determined to be eligible for a total and permanent 

disability discharge based on data that the Secretary obtains from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Social Security 

Administration (SSA) are not required to submit an application to have their Federal student loans discharged. The fiscal year 2022 

FFEL modifications also reflect costs related the shift of default collection activities to Business Process Operations. 

4 The 2021 amount includes a net upward reestimate of $52.8 billion and an upward modifications of $70.9 billion. The 2022

amount includes a net upward reestimate of $13.0 billion and a net upward modification of $2.2 billion. The Direct Loan upward 

net reestimate for fiscal year 2022 is primarily due to updated Income Driven Repayment model assumptions, updates to the 

discharge model, and discount rates. The fiscal year 2021 and 2022 Direct Loan modifications reflect costs related to the extension 

of COVID-19 emergency relief measures on federal student loans through May 1, 2022. The Direct Loan modifications in fiscal 

year 2021 also reflects costs associated with the regulatory action to clarify that borrowers determined to be eligible for a total and 

permanent disability discharge based on data that the Secretary obtains from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Social 

Security Administration (SSA) are not required to submit an application to have their Federal student loans discharged. The Direct 

Loan modification in fiscal year 2021 also reflects costs associated with permitting borrowers who work for employers that engage 

in religious instruction, worship services, or proselytizing to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness so long as they meet the 

applicable standards. The fiscal year 2022 Direct Loan modifications also reflect costs related the shift of default collection 

activities to Business Process Operations.

The Federal Pell Grant program helps ensure financial access to postsecondary education by providing 

grant aid to low- and moderate-income undergraduate students. The program is the largest need-based 

postsecondary student grant program, with individual awards based on the financial circumstances of 

students and their families. The fiscal year 2023 request provides $24.3 billion for Pell Grants and lays out 

a path to double the grant by 2029. The Budget increases the maximum award to $8,670, a historic $2,175 

increase over the current level, thereby expanding access and making college more affordable for an 

estimated 6.7 million students 

42
CAMPUS-BASED AID PROGRAMS

The Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant (IASG) program provides non-need-based grants to students whose 

parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces who died in Iraq or Afghanistan as a result of 

performing military service after September 11, 2001. Of those dependents of deceased service men and 

women, students who meet the financial criteria for the Pell Grant program are eligible for a maximum Pell 

Grant and those who do not are eligible to receive a Service Grant. Additionally, students must be 24 years 

old or younger; or, if older than 24, must have been enrolled in an institution of higher education at the time 

of the parent or guardian’s death. Service Grants are equal to the maximum Pell Grant for a given award 

year, which the Budget proposes to set at $8,670 for the 2023–2024 award year.

1 The 2021 amount includes a net downward reestimate of $75.1 million and an upward net modification for fiscal year 2021 that

reflects costs related to the extension of COVID-19 emergency relief measures on federal student loans and the cost of updated 

program regulations to improve the certification process and reduce grant to loan conversions. The 2022 amount includes a net 

upward reestimate of $65.8 million and upward net modification of $1.9 million. The upward net modification for fiscal year 2022 

reflects costs related to the extension of COVID-19 emergency relief measures on federal student loans through May 1, 2022, and 

the shift to Business Process Operations. The amount for 2023 reflects new loan subsidy. 

The TEACH Grant program awards annual grants of up to $4,000 to eligible undergraduate and graduate 

students who agree to serve, within 8 years of graduation, as full-time teachers in a high-need field (e.g.,

mathematics, science, foreign language, bilingual education, special education, or reading) at a high-need 

school for not less than 4 years. For students who fail to fulfill this service requirement, grants are converted 

to Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans with interest accrued from the date the grants were awarded. The 

Administration projects that 51 percent of students receiving TEACH Grants will have their grants 

converted to loans. For budget and financial management purposes, the TEACH program is operated as a 

loan program with 100 percent forgiveness of outstanding principal and interest upon completion of a 

student’s service requirement. Consistent with the requirements of the Credit Reform Act of 1990, budget 

authority for this program reflects the estimated net present value of all future non-administrative Federal 

costs associated with awards made in a given fiscal year.

FEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOANS AND DIRECT LOANS

1 FFEL budget authority does not include the liquidating account.

2 Under Credit Reform, costs or savings related to the impact of enacted policy changes on existing loans are reflected in the current 

year. The fiscal year 2021 and 2022 FFEL and Direct Loan modifications reflect costs related to the extension of COVID-19 

emergency relief measures on federal student loans through May 1, 2022. The Direct Loan and FFEL modifications in fiscal year 

2021 also reflects costs associated with the regulatory action to clarify that borrowers determined to be eligible for a total and 

permanent disability discharge based on data that the Secretary obtains from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Social 

Security Administration (SSA) are not required to submit an application to have their Federal student loans discharged. The Direct 

Loan modification in fiscal year 2021 also reflects costs associated with permitting borrowers who work for employers that engage 

in religious instruction, worship services, or proselytizing to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness so long as they meet the 

applicable standards. The fiscal year 2022 FFEL and Direct Loan modifications also reflect costs related the shift to Business 

Process Operations. 

3 Total includes amount for Consolidation Loans.

4 Under Credit Reform, the subsidy amounts are reestimated annually in both Direct Loans and FFEL to account for changes in 

long-term projections. Reestimates and modifications reflect the impact of changes on outstanding portfolios of $149 billion for

FFEL, $46 billion for ECASLA, and $1,292 billion for Direct Loans.

The Department of Education operates two major student loan programs—the Federal Family Education 

Loan (FFEL) program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program—but since 

July 1, 2010, the Department has made new loans only through the Direct Loan program. The legacy FFEL 

program made loans to students and their families through private lenders, with loans guaranteed by the 

Federal Government and administered by State and private nonprofit guaranty agencies.

Under the Direct Loan program, the Federal Government provides the loan capital and schools disburse 

loan funds to students. The Department carries out its loan origination and servicing functions under Direct 

Loans through private contractors. The Direct Loan program features four types of loans with fixed interest 

rates that are set annually (note that these descriptions are for current law).

Stafford Loans are low-interest loans with annual and aggregate limits available to undergraduate students 

based on financial need. The Federal Government pays the interest while the student is in school and during 

certain grace and deferment periods. The current interest rate for undergraduate loans made in award year 

2021–2022 is 3.73 percent.

• Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are low-interest loans with annual and aggregate limits available to 

undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of financial need. The Federal Government does 

not pay interest for the student during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. The interest rate is

3.73 percent for undergraduate borrowers and 5.28 percent for graduate and professional borrowers 

in award year 2021-2022. 

• PLUS Loans are available to parents of dependent undergraduate students and to graduate and 

professional students. There is no annual or aggregate limit on the amount that can be borrowed 

other than the cost of attendance minus other student financial aid. The interest rate is 6.28 percent 

in award year 2021–2022, and the Federal Government does not pay interest during in-school, 

grace, and deferment periods. 

• Consolidation Loans allow borrowers with multiple student loans who meet certain criteria to 

combine their loans and extend their repayment schedules. The rate for both FFEL and Direct 

Consolidation Loans is based on the weighted average of loans consolidated rounded up to the 

nearest one-eighth of 1 percent. The resulting rate for the consolidated loan is then fixed for the life 

of the loan.

The Administration looks forward to working with Congress on changes to the Higher Education Act that 

ease the burden of student debt, including through improvements to the Income Driven Repayment (IDR) 

and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) programs.

E. HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS

OVERVIEW

The Request includes $3.8 billion in discretionary funds for Higher Education programs aimed at improving 

student achievement and increasing access to a high-quality education for all students.

To foster more and better opportunities in higher education for communities that are often underserved, the 

Request provides $1.1 billion in discretionary and mandatory funding to expand capacity at institutions of 

higher education that serve high proportions of students of color. This includes a discretionary request of 

$886.8 million for Aid for Institutional Development (Title III, which funds Historically Black Colleges

and Universities and other Minority-Serving Institutions, as well as community colleges with low 

endowments and below-average educational and general expenditures), an increase of $247 million or 38.6 

percent over the 2021 enacted level; and $265.6 million for Aid for Hispanic-Serving (Title V), an increase 

of $103 million, or 63 percent, over the 2021 enacted level. In addition to the discretionary Request, $255 

million is available in mandatory funding in fiscal year 2023. The Request for Title III and Title V 

demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to assisting institutions that enroll a large proportion of 

students of color and disadvantaged students by providing funds to improve institutions’ academic 

programs and administrative and fundraising capabilities.

The Request would provide $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2023 for the Federal TRIO Programs, an increase of 

$200.8 million or 18.3 percent over the 2021 enacted level, to provide services to encourage underserved 

individuals to enter and complete college and postgraduate education. Additionally, the Request includes 

$408 million, an increase of $40 million over the 2021 enacted level, to assist middle and high school 

students in preparing for college through Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate 

Programs (GEAR UP).

The Request provides $78.2 million for the International Education and Foreign Language Studies 

programs to help meet the Nation's security and economic needs through the development of expertise in 

foreign languages and area and international studies. The Request provides $23.5 million for merit- and 

need-based scholarships and fellowships to postsecondary students under the Graduate Assistance in Areas 

of National Need (GAANN) program. 

For fiscal year 2023, the Administration requests $95 million for the Child Care Access Means Parents in 

School (CCAMPIS) program, an increase of $40 million from the 2021 enacted level. The CCAMPIS 

program helps to ensure that low-income student parents enroll in, persist in, and complete postsecondary 

education by helping to meet their needs for affordable and convenient child care. The request reflects the 

Administration’s strong commitment to closing equity gaps that limit access to and success in 

postsecondary education, including the extra challenges faced by underserved college student parents in 

finding high-quality, low-cost child care.

The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) would receive $560 million, up 

$519 million over the 2021 enacted level, to support two new grant programs. The Retention and 

Completion Grant program would provide competitive grants to States, TCUs and systems of IHEs to 

implement or expand evidence-based, institution or State-level retention and completion reforms that 

improve student outcomes. The Research Infrastructure Investments for HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs program 

would support both planning and implementation grants designed to promote transformational investments 

in research infrastructure, including physical infrastructure and human capital development. 

49
The Request would make two significant new investments in teacher recruitment and preparation, including 

$132.1 million, for the Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) program, an increase of $80 million over the 

2021 enacted level, to help support a variety of effective pathways into teaching and support our Nation’s 

teaching force in improving student outcomes; and $20 million for a new Hawkins Centers of Excellence 

program designed to increase the quality and number of new teachers of color prepared at a subset of highpriority institutions of higher education.

To help fund evidence building to improve postsecondary education, the Request also proposes through 

appropriations language a new HEA pooled evaluation authority to improve data collection and conduct 

rigorous research and evaluations of the Department’s postsecondary programs. The pooled evaluation 

authority is modeled after the successful authority incorporated into the Elementary and Secondary Act by 

the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. The authority would permit the Department to reserve up to

0.5 percent of funding appropriated for each HEA program, with the exception of the Pell Grant program 

and the Student Aid Administration account.

respectively, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25). The amount requested for fiscal year 2023 does not reflect 

an anticipated reduction pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011.

51
The Request for Aid for Institutional Development (Title III) continues to support institutions, including 

community colleges, that serve large percentages of students of color and low-income students. Title III 

funding, which is awarded both competitively and by a formula that directs aid to specified institutions, 

helps provide equal educational opportunity and strong academic programs for these students and enhances 

the financial stability of the institutions that serve them. Funds may be used to plan, develop, and implement 

activities that support student services, interventions that promote degree completion, and faculty 

development; administrative management; development and improvement of academic programs; joint use 

of libraries and laboratories; construction, maintenance, and renovation of instructional facilities; and 

endowment funds.

The Strengthening Institutions Program supports institutions, especially community colleges, that provide 

educational opportunities to low-income and students of color. Fiscal year 2023 funding would support a 

competition for new awards and support continuation awards to more than 400 grantees.

Strengthening ANNH program supports institutions with undergraduate enrollments that are at least 20 

percent Alaska Native and at least 10 percent Native Hawaiian students, respectively. The discretionary 

request would support continuation awards and enable the Department to conduct a competition for new 

awards for these institutions, which typically are located in remote areas not served by other institutions. 

Strengthening TCCUs supports 35 Tribal Colleges and Universities located primarily in remote areas not 

served by other postsecondary education institutions. These institutions offer a broad range of degree and 

vocational certificate programs to students for whom these educational opportunities would otherwise be 

geographically and culturally inaccessible. 

Strengthening HBCUs supports any accredited, legally authorized HBCU that was established prior to 1964 

and which retains a principal mission of educating African Americans. Fiscal year 2023 funding would 

support 97 HBCUs. 

Strengthening HBGIs supports 24 postgraduate institutions with schools of law, medical schools, or other 

graduate programs. 

Strengthening Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) makes awards to primarily urban and rural 2-year 

colleges that have an enrollment of undergraduate students that is at least 40 percent African American and 

that serve at least 50 percent low-income or first-generation college students.

Strengthening HBCU Master’s Program supports 18 HBCUs, specified in Section 723 of the HEA, 

determined to be making a substantial contribution to graduate education opportunities for Black Americans 

at the master’s level in mathematics, engineering, the physical or natural sciences, computer science, 

information technology, nursing, allied health, or other scientific disciplines. 

Strengthening PBIs makes awards to primarily urban and rural 2-year colleges that have an enrollment of 

undergraduate students that is at least 40 percent African American and that serve at least 50 percent lowincome or first-generation college students. 

Strengthening AANAPISIs supports institutions with undergraduate enrollments that are at least 10 percent 

Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander.

Strengthening NASNTIs supports institutions that are not designated as TCCUs yet enroll at least 10 percent 

Native American students and serve at least 50 percent low-income students.

52
The Minority Science and Engineering Improvement program would fund approximately 15 new grants 

and 38 continuation grants that support improvement in science and engineering education at predominantly 

minority institutions and increase the participation of underrepresented ethnic minorities, particularly 

minority women, in scientific and technological careers.

In addition to these discretionary requested levels, a total of $255 million is available in mandatory funding 

in fiscal year 2023 for the Title III and Title V programs authorized by Section 371 of the HEA—

$155 million for the Title III programs and $100 million for Title V programs.

respectively, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25). Although the 2023 level for mandatory programs is

expected to be reduced by 5.7 percent, the amount in the table does not include the sequester reduction.

The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) program funds competitive grants to expand and 

enhance the academic quality, institutional management, fiscal stability, and self-sufficiency of colleges 

and universities that enroll large percentages of Hispanic students.

The HSI STEM and Articulation Program is designed to increase the number of Hispanic and other students 

from low-income backgrounds attaining degrees in STEM fields and to support the development of model 

transfer and articulation agreements between 2-year HSIs and 4-year IHEs in such fields. 

The Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans program provides funds to eligible 

HSIs that offer a postbaccalaureate certificate or postbaccalaureate degree-granting program. The program 

is designed to help Hispanic Americans gain entry into and succeed in graduate study, a level of education 

in which they are underrepresented.

The Request provides $66.1 million for Special Programs for Migrant Students, an increase of $20 million 

over the 2021 enacted level, in support of the President’s goal to advance equity in education. Special 

Programs for Migrant Students includes the High School Equivalency Program (HEP), which funds 

competitively selected projects to help low-income migratory and seasonal farmworkers and fishers earn 

high school diplomas or equivalency certificates, and the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), 

which makes competitive grants to provide stipends and special services, such as tutoring and counseling, 

to migratory students who are in their first year of college. The request expand programs that have 

demonstrated success in helping migrant youth who are particularly at risk for low educational, 

54
employment, and earnings outcomes. For example, approximately 96 percent of CAMP participants who 

completed their first academic year in a postsecondary program continued their postsecondary education, 

significantly better than the 81 percent retention rate for undergraduates at 4-year institutions from 2017 to 

2018 and the 62 percent retention rate at 2-year institutions during the same period.

promote transformational investments in research infrastructure, including physical infrastructure and 

human capital development.

TEACHER QUALITY PARTNERSHIP (TQP)

2021 2022

2023

Request

BA in millions $52.1 $52.1 $132.1

This program supports projects that improve the preparation of teachers, including grow your own programs

that support the development of teachers from communities schools serve and teacher residency programs 

that are based on (1) strong partnerships between IHEs and LEAs and integrate coursework with clinical 

practice that is ideally a full-year served along an expert mentor teacher in model teaching schools, (2)

enhance professional development activities for teachers, (3) recruit highly qualified individuals, (4) 

prioritize teacher shortage areas, (5) increase the diversity of the teaching workforce; and (6) attract talented 

professionals from outside the teaching pipeline into the classroom. The request would support 

approximately $91.3 million in new awards under the program with a focus on teacher residencies and 

“grow your own” programs, which have a greater impact on student outcomes and teacher retention and 

are more likely to enroll teacher candidates of color. Expanding funding for this program is critical to 

increasing the number of well-prepared educators who can help students recover from the impacts of the 

pandemic.

2023

Request

BA in millions — — $20.0

The request again includes $20 million in first-time funding for the Hawkins Centers of Excellence 

program, authorized under Part B of Title II of the Higher Education Act, to support diversifying the 

educator workforce by increasing the number of high-quality teacher preparation programs at Historically 

Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Minority Serving Institutions, such 

as Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Increasing the number of educators of color is a key strategy in the 

Administration’s equity agenda aimed at improving educational opportunities and outcomes for students of 

color. Research shows that teachers of color benefit all students and can have a significant impact on 

students of color, yet only one in five teachers are people of color, compared to more than half of K-12 

public school students. Eligible institutions collectively prepare half of all teachers of color and are ideally 

positioned to help prepare a new generation of effective teachers of color for high-need schools. The 

Administration would give priority in making new awards to applicants that propose to incorporate 

evidence-based components and practices into their teacher preparation programs to the greatest extent 

possible.

F. INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION SCIENCES

OVERVIEW

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) supports sustained programs of research, statistics, and evaluation 

to study and provide solutions to the challenges faced by schools, teachers, and learners. Investment in 

research, statistics, and evaluation activities is critical in order to identify effective instructional and 

program practices, track student achievement, and measure the impact of educational reform. Through its 

four centers—the National Center for Education Research, the National Center for Education Statistics, the 

National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, and the National Center for Special 

Education Research—IES ensures the Federal investment in education research, statistics, and evaluation 

is of high quality and relevant to the needs of educators and policymakers. The Administration requests 

$662.5 million for IES activities, $20.1 million more than 2021 enacted level.

The Request includes a $20.1 million increase to the established assessment schedule under the ongoing 

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and to support research and development activities 

to maintain assessment quality while reducing future program costs. NAEP measures and reports on the 

status of and trends in student learning over time on a subject-by-subject basis and makes objective 

information on student performance available to policymakers, educators, parents, and the public. As the 

largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what American students know and can do, 

NAEP has become a key measure of our Nation’s educational performance. The proposed increase would 

support preparation for and implementation of the 2024 assessments; further analysis and reporting of 2022 

assessments in reading, mathematics, civics, and U.S history; and research and development needed to 

maintain NAEP quality and reduce future program costs.

G. DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

Congress established the Department of Education as a Cabinet level agency in 1980. Today, the 

Department supports programs that touch every area and level of education. The Department's early 

learning, elementary, and secondary education programs annually serve more than 17,000 school districts 

and more than 56 million students attending more than 98,000 public and 32,000 private schools. 

Department programs also provide grant, loan, and work-study assistance to nearly 9 million postsecondary 

students at approximately 5,600 institutions of higher education. 

The Department is responsible for administering education programs authorized and funded by Congress 

and signed into law by the President. This responsibility involves developing regulations and policy 

guidance regarding program operations, determining how program funds are awarded to recipients 

consistent with statutory requirements, and ensuring programs are operated fairly and conform to statutes 

and laws prohibiting discrimination in federally funded activities. The Department also collects data and 

conducts research on education to help focus attention on education issues of national importance.

Most Federal funds for education are distributed using one of three methods: (1) a statutory formula based 

on certain eligibility requirements, such as the number of low-income students in a school district; (2) a 

competitive process aimed at identifying the most promising proposals or projects targeting a particular 

educational purpose; or (3) an assessment of financial need, such as the ability of a student or family to pay 

for college. 

Key programs include the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, for which $36.5 billion would help 

approximately 25 million students in high-poverty schools make progress toward State academic standards, 

and $16.3 billion for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B Grants to States to help States 

and school districts meet the special education needs of 7.4 million students with disabilities. Key programs 

also include Federal Pell Grants, which would make available $38.7 billion in need-based grants to 

6.7 million students enrolled in postsecondary institutions; and the postsecondary student loan programs, 

which would help provide roughly $85.2 billion in new Direct Loans to help students and families pay for 

college.

The Department’s programs and responsibilities have grown substantially over the past decade. Some of 

the growth has resulted from greater demands that were placed on the Department to secure sensitive data, 

increase transparency through increased data reporting, provide enhanced oversight and enforcement of 

programs and laws, and award and manage massive new grant programs (about $280 billion for grants to 

states, school districts, and institutions of higher education) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Federal Student Aid has been tasked with modernizing and improving the entire student aid process to 

better help students and families, as well as implementing major legislation, including the FAFSA® 

Simplification Act and FUTURE Act.

The Department is requesting $3.4 billion for its Salaries and Expenses budget accounts in fiscal year 2023, 

an increase of $962.9 million over the 2021 enacted level. The requested fiscal year 2023 increase focuses

64
on key departmental policy and management priorities. These include an increase of $30 million for the 

Office for Civil Rights to advance equity in educational opportunity and delivery through an increased 

investment in civil rights enforcement; an increase of $800 million for Student Aid Administration to 

implement the FAFSA® Simplification Act and FUTURE Act, implement customer service and 

accountability improvements to student loan servicing, and ensure the successful transition from the current 

short-term loan servicing contracts to a more stable long-term contract and servicing environment; and 

increased funding for continued IT security improvements to ensure the integrity of the Department of 

Education systems and prevent potential breaches. Funding is also requested for building modernization 

and renovation activities which will reduce the Department’s overall footprint and save on future rent costs 

by vacating existing space. 

The Department’s Request also includes funding necessary to restore critically needed staff capacity across 

the organization. In fiscal year 2023, the request supports 4,306 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) Employment, 

a net increase of 387 FTE above the 2021 enacted level. 

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

The Program Administration account provides administrative support for most programs and offices in the 

Department. The fiscal year 2023 request totals $548.0 million, an increase of $118.0 million above the 

2021 enacted level. The Budget includes $340.3 million for personnel compensation and benefits to support 

1,762 FTE, an increase of $64.0 million above the fiscal year 2021 enacted level of $276.3 million.

Salaries and Expenses non-personnel costs cover such items as travel, rent, mail, telephones, utilities, 

printing, information technology (IT) services and security, contractual services, equipment, supplies, and 

other services. The total request for non-personnel activities in fiscal year 2023 is $207.7 million, an 

increase of $54.0 million above the 2021 enacted level of $153.7 million. Approximately 65 percent of the 

total non-personnel request is to cover Program Administration’s share of the Department’s centralized 

services. The centralized services request totals $123.1 million for fiscal year 2023, an increase of $13.4 

million over the 2021 enacted level. 

The overall account increase of $118.0 million is primarily needed for: (1) an increase of 189 FTE over the 

2021 enacted level and a 4.6 percent government-wide pay raise plus benefits increases; (2) building 

modernization and renovation activities with a goal of reducing the Department’s future rent costs; (3) 

continued improvements to the Department’s IT security to ensure the integrity of the Department’s data 

as well as to prevent potential IT security breaches; and (4) enhanced data collection, analysis, and reporting 

of education data, including Economic Stabilization Funds programs. The Request for non-personnel 

activities to support Building Modernization in fiscal year 2023 is $17.5 million. 

STUDENT AID ADMINISTRATION

The Student Aid Administration account provides funds to administer the Federal student aid programs 

authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. These programs are the Nation’s largest source of 

financial aid for postsecondary students, which helps students and families fund education costs and training 

beyond high school.

This account also supports functions across the student aid lifecycle including educating students and 

families on sources for obtaining aid as well as federal student loans and costs associated with processing 

financial aid applications. These funds support financial tools, supports outstanding loans and collections 

activities on defaulted federal loans and oversight of Title IV programs.

65
In fiscal year 2021, FSA provided $112 billion in new Federal student aid grants and loans (excluding 

Direct Consolidation Loans) to more than 10.1 million postsecondary students and their families. These 

students attended approximately 5,600 institutions of higher education.

The SAFRA Act ended the origination of new loans under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) 

program. Since July 1, 2010, new loans are originated and serviced through the Direct Loan (DL) program 

administered by the Department. Private lenders and guaranty agencies service and collect outstanding nondefaulted loans from the FFEL portfolio. The Department contracts with nine servicers to service the 

Department’s portfolio of over 43 million borrowers. 

The Department is requesting $2.654 billion to administer the Federal student aid programs in fiscal year 

2023, an increase of $800.1 million over the 2021 enacted level. The requested funds are necessary to 

implement the FAFSA® Simplification Act and FUTURE Act, implement customer service and 

accountability improvements to student loan servicing, and ensure the successful transition from the current 

short-term loan servicing contracts to a more stable long-term contract and servicing environment. 

OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS

The Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigates discrimination complaints, conducts 

compliance reviews, monitors corrective action plans, and provides technical assistance on civil rights 

issues. Since fiscal year 2009, the number of complaints have almost doubled, while the number of 

investigative staff have only increased slightly over the same period. The fiscal year 2023 Request includes 

92 additional FTE over the 2021 enacted level for OCR. 

The fiscal year 2023 request for OCR is $161.3 million, which is an increase of $30.3 million above the

2021 enacted level. About $122.6 million of the requested funds, or 76 percent, is for staff pay and benefits 

for 676 FTE. The remaining $38.7 million is for non-pay projects and includes funding for information 

technology services, including the $6.5 million contract for the Civil Rights Data Collection. Requested 

funds would ensure program support to resolve complaints of discrimination filed by the public and ensure 

that institutions receiving Federal financial assistance comply with the civil rights laws enforced by OCR. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducts audits and investigations of the Department’s programs 

and activities to help ensure accountability for taxpayer-provided funds and to identify management 

improvements. The fiscal year 2023 Request for the OIG is $76.5 million, an increase of $13.5 million over 

the 2021 enacted level. Approximately 69 percent of this amount, or $52.9 million, is for personnel 

compensation and benefits to support a staffing level of 253 FTE.

The non-personnel request of $23.6 million includes $1.6 million to contract for the mandatory annual audit 

of the Department’s financial statements. The scope of the audit would include the examination and analysis 

of account balances, review of applicable financial systems, and evaluation of internal controls and 

compliance with significant laws and regulations. Additionally, the non-personnel request includes funds 

to support the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, and to continue to develop the 

ability to perform predictive analytics with a tool to identify patterns of fraud and risk, allowing the OIG to 

better target its audit and investigative work.
