Can the competitive application still be considered eligible for funding if the deadline is missed?
No. A competitive application that is late will not be accepted by TEA under any circumstances. Waiting until the last minute to submit an application could result in missing the deadline because of the unexpected delay. Accepting one late application for any reason would invalidate the entire competition, require the publication of a new Request For Application (RFA), and necessitate the re-submittal of applications by all applicants on a new deadline date. In establishing the time and date of receipt for paper applications, the Commissioner of Education will rely solely on the time/date stamp of the DCC at TEA. For eGrants, the Commissioner will rely solely on the time and date in the automated eGrants system.
