Grant Reimbursement Application

We provide our users with guidance and answer their questions regarding the Grant Reimbursement Application (GRA). This application allows school districts, charter schools, and other educational entities receiving federal funds a mechanism to electronically request reimbursement.

Single Audit Report Generator

The Single Audit Report Generator application allows entities receiving federal funds from the Department of Education or the State of Idaho to report payment information by federal grant number. These reports are useful for reconciling and auditing federal receipts.
