This paper provides an overview of U.S. Department of Education programs authorized and funded under federal law. It includes information as well on the laboratories, centers, and other facilities funded by the Department that provide important resources for education. Each entry, which gives a brief overview of a program or resource, is listed initially by a broad topical heading. The Guide is organized alphabetically according to these topical headings, and then alphabetically by program title within each heading. The program title as well as any commonly or formerly used names for the program come next, followed by the name of the principal office that administers the program. A unique identifier, either a number based on the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) or an assigned ED number follows. After the CFDA or ED number, information is provided about the entities that are eligible to apply to programs. Next comes information on any current competitions, including application deadlines; this is followed by a categorical description of type of assistance, such as "formula grants" or "competitive/discretionary grants," by which a program operates. Funding levels for FY 2011 and the previous two fiscal years, a three-year format similar to the federal government's annual budget, follow next.

The Guide to U.S. Department of Education Programs and Resources, commonly referred to as the Guide to ED Programs, provides an overview of all Department of Education programs authorized and funded under federal law. It also includes information on competitions administered under these programs as well as on the laboratories, centers, and other facilities funded by the Department that provide important resources for education. Each entry in this volume is listed under a broad topical heading, which is keyed to the table of contents found on page vii of the 2004 printed Guide. The program title and any other commonly used names come next, followed by the principal office that administers the program. These are followed by the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CDFA) number or similar Department number (numbers 84.500 and higher). Programs which are listed as "No CFDA" do not have CFDA numbers assigned to them. After the CFDA number, information is provided about which entities are eligible to apply to each program. Next comes information on any current competitions and the types of assistance available. Funding levels for FY 2004 and the previous two fiscal years follow next. Most of the programs in the guide received funding in FY 2004. Programs that received no funding in FY 2004 are also included in the guide because they are still disbursing continuation funds from previous years.

In President Obama's first address to Congress, he challenged America to meet an ambitious goal for education: By 2020, we will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. Meeting this goal is vital for securing our long-term economic security, because the country that out-educates us today will out-compete us tomorrow. We must work to ensure that all children and adults in America receive a world-class education that will prepare them to succeed in college and careers for rich and fulfilling lives in a vibrant and prosperous democracy. We often refer to the President's goal as the “North Star” for the work of the U.S. Department of Education as described in this fiscal year (FY) 2011–2014 Strategic Plan. A generation ago, we ranked first in the world in the rate of college degree attainment for 25- to 34-year-olds; now we rank 16th, and the global achievement gap is growing.1 Reaching the President's goal will require comprehensive education reforms from cradle to career, beginning with children at birth, supporting them through postsecondary education, and helping them succeed as lifelong learners who can adapt to the constant changes in the diverse and technology-driven workplaces of the global economy. Our youngest children must be in early learning environments that prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. We must continue to close the achievement gap and ensure that elementary and secondary school students are on track to graduate from high school ready for college and careers. Once students enroll in a postsecondary education institution—whether at a trade or technical school, community college, a liberal arts college, a state university, or a research university—we must provide support and assistance to help them complete their certificates and degrees, with grants, loans, tax credits, and work-study assistance. Doing this will equip them with the knowledge and skills to participate and engage in the nation's future. Finally, at every level of the education system, we must promote competency in the arts and sciences to promote our competitiveness in a 21st century economy. Our Strategic Plan sets specific objectives for each of these goals and explains what the Department will do to support youth, adults, families, and education professionals in meeting them.
