Federal Entitlements (Grant Allocations)

Calculation of Federal Formula Grant Entitlements

Have you ever wondered how and why TEA calculates federal formula grant entitlements, also known as allocations?

To answer this question, TEA has developed two reference manuals to explain the calculation process for grant programs authorized by the following statutes:

• Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): ESSA Funding Reference Manual
• Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B): IDEA-B Funding Reference Manual

If you have clarifying questions after reviewing the manuals, please email the entitlements unit in the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting Division at entitlements@tea.texas.gov.

*Allocation reports for major formal grants are listed on the Entitlements Page of the TEA Website.
