For middle and high schools, the free and reduced-price count generated at the school or from the elementary schools that feed into the middle and/or high schools may be used to establish the low-income count at the receiving middle or high school.  \nQuestion 2: Are there age requirements for student participants?  \nAnswer: No, students may be of any age.  \nQuestion 3: If we have funding from the FY20 After School Program which ends June 2021, can we still apply to this round of funding as long as we are serving a different cohort of students with this funding?  \nAnswer: Yes, funds must be kept separate and students served non-duplicate.  \nQuestion 4: Can grant funds be used to subsidize student stipends/wages, if our program has a workforce development component?  \nAnswer: Yes, provided such stipends/wages meet the goals of the RFP.  \nQuestion 5: I know individual grant awards won't exceed $3 million, but is there guidance on a minimum amount to apply for?  \nAnswer: There is no dollar amount limit for a request. However, ISBE staff will determine allocations as provided for in the RFP and ensure opportunities for as many students as possible.  \nQuestion 6: Do all funds need to be spent by August 31, 2021?  \nAnswer: Yes, the grant period will start no sooner then January 4, 2021 and go through  \nAugust 31, 2021.  \nQuestion 7: Can funds be used to cover professional development related costs for program, executive, and admin staff supporting the ASP program?  \nAnswer: Yes, as long as the criteria is met as listed in the RFP.  \nQuestion 8: Are for-profit organizations eligible if all criteria are met?  \nAnswer: Yes, as long as the criteria is met as listed in the RFP.  \nQuestion 9: If we received funding in FY20 do we need to complete a new application for FY21?  \nAnswer: This is a competitive grant for non-school district entities and will be reviewed and scored separately.  \nQuestion 10: Can funds be used towards organization-wide strategic planning, as all org work is linked to ASP program?  \nAnswer: Funding for programming should be utilized for the purpose of serving students  \nand to support the goals as listed within the RFP.","cbCaidDShYzWqAXh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidDShYzWqAXh","pdf",81361,"English","# Question 1: Low-income criteria\n## Answer 1: Free and reduced-price meal eligibility counts\n# Question 2: Age requirements\n## Answer 2: Any age allowed\n# Question 3: Using FY20 funds and applying for FY21\n## Answer 3: Keep funds separate and avoid duplicate students\n# Question 4: Using funds for stipends/wages\n## Answer 4: Allowed if aligned with RFP goals\n# Question 5: Minimum request amount\n## Answer 5: No dollar amount limit; ISBE allocates per the RFP\n# Question 6: Spend deadline\n## Answer 6: Grant period runs through August 31, 2021\n# Question 7: Professional development costs\n## Answer 7: Allowed if RFP criteria are met\n# Question 8: Eligibility of for-profit organizations\n## Answer 8: Allowed if RFP criteria are met\n# Question 9: Need for a new FY21 application\n## Answer 9: FY21 reviewed and scored separately\n# Question 10: Organization-wide strategic planning use\n## Answer 10: Funding must support student services and RFP goals","[{\"question\":\"How is “low-income” determined for this grant?\",\"answer\":\"Elementary schools may use the number of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals.
