FY27 Consortium Applications are outside of the ESEA Application. Please see the NJGMS Dashboard for the link to the form.

Due Date

Consortium applications are due by 5:00 pm on 7/1/2026. There will be no extensions or exceptions.

Lead Applicant Responsibilities

The Lead Applicant will submit one application identifying all the participants. Multiple applications or changes to the application once it is submitted are not permissible. The Participant does not complete the application.

The Lead Applicant must maintain all documentation related to the participants agreeing to participation in the consortium.

Funding

Once the consortium is approved, funds will be transferred into the lead applicant and display on the Allocations page in the ESEA Application. Neither the Lead nor the Participant should submit the ESEA Application until the transfer of funds is completed.
