Title IV, Part A provides flexible federal funding for student support, STEM education, and technology integration. Colorado districts can use these funds to purchase CS equipment, coding curriculum, and ed-tech platforms - making it one of the most direct federal funding paths for classroom technology.
What This Grant Funds
Title IV-A has three use buckets: well-rounded educational opportunities (including STEM and CS), safe and healthy schools, and effective use of technology. At least 20% must go to STEM and 20% to technology. Districts can use funds for CS curriculum, robotics kits, coding platforms, and teacher training.
Who Can Apply
All Colorado LEAs receiving Title IV-A allocations can access these funds. Districts with allocations under $30,000 have fewer restrictions on use. Educators should work with their district's federal programs coordinator to understand the available amount and allowable uses.
How to Apply
Title IV-A funds flow through your district's consolidated federal grant application to CDE. Talk to your district's technology coordinator or curriculum director about using Title IV-A funds for STEM and CS purchases. No separate competitive application is required.
