English Language Acquisition State Grants — CFDA 84.365
$2.78 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for English Language Acquisition State Grants (CFDA 84.365). The listing carries 346 awards, 194 recipients, and a 52-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of English learners, teachers, or school districts. A 52-jurisdiction map with 194 recipients is a state-grant file: more organizations than a pure formula roster of 50 SEAs, fewer than a campus-based aid listing.
Key figures
- CFDA 84.365 shows $2.78 billion in USAspending obligations for English Language Acquisition State Grants.
- The listing covers 346 awards and 194 recipients.
- Awards are coded to 52 jurisdictions in the USAspending geographic count.
- Totals are obligations, not outlays or student counts.
English-language state-grant obligations at $2.78 billion
USAspending.gov records $2,778,281,896.92 in obligations under CFDA 84.365. Three hundred forty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $8.03 million per award — consistent with multi-year state allocations rather than classroom-level grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical district subaward or a per-student amount.
The assistance-listing title is ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION STATE GRANTS. CFDA 84.365 is the identifier. Other Title III or K–12 listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.78 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined English-learner total this packet does not contain.
194 recipients across 52 jurisdictions
One hundred ninety-four recipients share 346 awards, or about 1.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.78 billion evenly would assign about $14.3 million per recipient. That pattern sits between a one-award-per-state formula and a competitive file with many local applicants. The packet does not list the 194. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of English learners or teachers.
Fifty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Allocation still follows statutory formulas the packet does not reprint. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award count is not a student or district count
Among education listings, 84.365 is a moderate-row file: 346 awards against 194 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique allocations. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of English-learner programs.” Recipients (194) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (346) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report English-learner enrollment, teacher FTE, or test scores. Citing 346 as districts or students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.
Obligations versus education outlays
The $2.78 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against English-language acquisition awards — are not in the packet. A state education agency can show a large obligation stock while district drawdowns follow the school year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 84.365 tables omit
The English Language Acquisition State Grants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student-count file, not a district directory, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,778,281,896.92. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 346 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 52 jurisdictions 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 in classrooms.
