School in the middle of construction

School construction grant application overview

The Office of Grants Administration (OGA) administers all Connecticut public school constriction grants. The application process relies heavily on the timing and accuracy of submitted documentation. To ensure that the grant application process occurs efficiently, OGA requires towns and regional school districts to submit necessary documentation suitably and appropriately.

School construction grant funding is available to the following entities:

  • Connecticut towns and municipalities
  • Regional School Districts
  • Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs)

The information on this page will help applicants ensure they have the proper documentation and follow the correct application process.


How to apply

Applications should be submitted using superintendent user accounts through Core-CT at the state comptroller’s Vendor Resources website.

Superintendents should log in using the “Vendor Self-Serve” instructions at the bottom of the screen.

All local and regional school districts have a municipal or district Core-CT administrator who can create user accounts.

Districts' Core-CT administrators may request the creation of a Core-CT account for their superintendent. If you are unaware of who your municipal Core-CT administrator is, please contact the OGA office at DAS.GrantsAdministration@ct.gov.
