Pennsylvania's Hunger-Free Campus Grant Applications Run From November 6 to December 4: $1 Million in the State Budget, With Per-School Caps of $20,000 to $60,0
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has issued the 2026 request for applications for the PA Hunger-Free Campus Grant: the submission window opened at 12:00 a.m. on November 6, 2026 and closes at 1:00 p.m. on December 4, 2026, with applications submitted through PDE's eGrants system. The grant agreement runs from May 3, 2027 to June 30, 2028. The grant was developed to address food insecurity on campuses across the Commonwealth.
According to PDE, Governor Josh Shapiro advocated for $1,000,000 in the fiscal year 2026–27 budget to support the grant. The maximum an institution may request is set by enrollment: up to $20,000 for institutions with 3,000 or fewer learners, up to $40,000 for 3,001 to 7,000 learners, and up to $60,000 for 7,001 or more learners. Awards are competitive and may be less than requested. Eligible applicants are postsecondary institutions and eligible licensed private schools that received the PA Hunger-Free Campus or PA Hunger-Free Campus+ designation by August 1, 2026 and are in good standing with PDE.
The initiative was launched in August 2022 as a partnership between PDE and the Office of the First Lady; designated institutions must directly connect students to food options, such as an on-campus food pantry, and run strategies to raise awareness of SNAP eligibility among students.
