Background

About Eric Schulz

With over 25 years at the U.S. Department of Education (ED), I specialize in formula grant management, grant policy development, and technical assistance, focusing on rural education programs and equitable resource allocation. As an Education Program Specialist, I am committed to supporting ED's mission of fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access for all students, especially in underserved communities. My goal is to empower schools and educators by providing expert guidance on funding eligibility, application processes, and allowable uses of funds, helping them achieve impactful outcomes for their students. I have positively impacted the administration of ED formula and discretionary grant programs by delivering targeted technical assistance, high-level compliance monitoring, and detailed guidance on statutory and regulatory requirements. Collaborating with a dedicated team, we ensure effective grant-making, policy development, and capacity building for stakeholders. My expertise in grant performance periods and Congressional affairs has supported schools in maximizing the effectiveness of allocated resources.
