TRIO Upward Bound — CFDA 84.047

$3.05 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for TRIO Upward Bound (CFDA 84.047). The listing carries 2,085 awards, 763 recipients, and a 55-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of students enrolled. A campus-program file at this size posts thousands of awards to hundreds of named colleges and partners nationwide.

Key figures

  • CFDA 84.047 shows $3.05 billion in USAspending obligations for TRIO Upward Bound.
  • The listing covers 2,085 awards and 763 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 55 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or student counts.

Upward Bound obligations at $3.05 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,053,052,399.86 in obligations under CFDA 84.047. Two thousand eighty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.46 million per award — typical of multi-year campus TRIO awards rather than statewide block grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical student-cohort budget.

The assistance-listing title is TRIO UPWARD BOUND. CFDA 84.047 is the identifier. Other TRIO listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.05 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined TRIO total this packet does not contain.

763 recipients across 55 states

Seven hundred sixty-three recipients share 2,085 awards, or about 2.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.05 billion evenly would assign about $4.0 million per recipient. That pattern matches a campus-program portfolio in which institutions hold a few award cycles. The packet does not list the 763. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of students or high schools.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count show nationwide coding, including territories as the source stored them. Program dollars still concentrate where named campuses sit. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a student count

Among education listings, 84.047 is a mid-density file: 2,085 rows against 763 recipients. Multi-year TRIO awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of Upward Bound students.” Recipients (763) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,085) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report enrollment, college-going rates, or high-school counts. Citing 2,085 as students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus TRIO outlays

The $3.05 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against TRIO Upward Bound awards — are not in the packet. A campus can show a large obligation stock while program years follow an academic calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 84.047 tables omit

The TRIO Upward Bound hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student roster, not a high-school directory, and not a ranking of college-going rates. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,053,052,399.86. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,085 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on tutoring or campus programs.

Where the 84.047 table lives

The TRIO Upward Bound program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 84.047 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other education listings. For 84.047 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 84.047’s 2,085 awards spread $3,053,052,399.86 across 763 recipients and 55 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.7 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 84.047 is indexed at $3,053,052,399.86 in obligations, 2,085 awards, 763 recipients, and 55 states on USAspending.gov. TRIO Upward Bound should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.05 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 84.047, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,053,052,399.86 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting TRIO Upward Bound: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.
