Dear Colleague:
Thank you for your interest in the School-Based Mental Health Services Grant program,
administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education in the U.S. Department of
Education (Department). This document includes information for applicants seeking funding for new
grant projects in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 under the School-Based Mental Health Services Grant
program. In the Department¡¯s FY 2020 appropriations, Congress increased funding for the School
Safety National Activities program, and included direction in the Explanatory Statement that funds
be used to increase the number of counselors, social workers, psychologists, or other service
providers who provide school-based mental health services to students. Under this competition, the
Department will award grants for that purpose.
The School-Based Mental Health Services Grant program will provide competitive grants to State
educational agencies (SEAs). The purpose of the grants is to increase the number of qualified mental
health service providers that provide school-based mental health services to students in local
educational agencies (LEAs) with demonstrated need.
Please take the time to review the applicable priorities, selection criteria, and all the application
instructions thoroughly. An application will not be reviewed if the applicant does not comply with all
the procedural rules that govern the submission of the application or the application does not contain
