Apply Home FY 2025 CSP MDD Competition Applicant Information and Eligibility Funding and Legislation Awards What's New Announcing the New FY 2025 MDD Grant Awards! On September 24, 2025, the Department of Education awarded 12 new grants under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program – Model Development and Dissemination Grants (MDD Grants) competition. These funds will be used for grantees to develop and disseminate comprehensive tools and resources to support the successful creation or implementation of innovative charter school models. For more information about the new CSP MDD awards, please visit the Awards tab . Program Description The new Charter Schools Program (CSP) Model Development and Dissemination (MDD) grant program offers competitive grants to eligible organizations to develop and broadly disseminate information about innovative and effective practices of high-quality charter school models. The Department is establishing this program under the authority to disseminate best practices regarding charter schools in section 4305(a)(3)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (20 7221-7221j). By spreading awareness of key strategies of high-performing, innovative charter school models and promoting their collaborative adoption in school communities, the CSP MDD program supports the Department’s efforts to expand access to high-quality education options for our Nation’s students and families, ultimately leading to better student outcomes. Aligned with the Trump Administration’s focus on educational excellence and opportunity, the Charter Schools Program (CSP) expands education choice by providing more schooling options to students, particularly those that reside in failing districts. The six grant programs available through the CSP increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the Nation and empower parents to select the schooling option that best fits their child’s unique needs. This program supports transparency in the operational performance of all authorized public chartering agencies. Charter schools are uniquely positioned to advance innovative school models. Through the CSP MDD program, the Department is particularly interested in information about strategies and practices of high-quality charter schools that use innovative education models designed to meet the needs of students and provide parents and families with high-quality options for their children. Unique and innovative school models include charter schools that focus on one or more of the following: classical and civics education; mathematics (STEM) education, including computer science; career and technical education; or other innovative educational practices with evidence of success; or serving students with unique needs, such as students with disabilities or receiving special education or related services, military-connected students, students living in rural areas, or Native American students.
