Available to charter schools and charter school applicants for expenses associated with the planning and implementation of charter school programs, the primary purpose of the Charter School Program (CSP) is to expand the number of high-quality charter schools available to students.
CSP funds are available through a competitive process to eligible applicants. Awardees will enter into a subaward agreement (and/or State procurement contract, if appropriate) with the State University of New York for:
- Planning and program design, and
- Initial implementation of a charter school
Applicants are eligible for only one CSP award, therefore, applicants seeking funding for both planning and implementation activities are advised to submit a single application for both types of awards.
