The CSP Allowable Costs Guides is intended to assist Charter School Program subgrant recipients in planning budgets, making budget amendments, and determining specific expenditures that may or may not be considered for reimbursement under the CSP grant. The guide will be posted here when available. Please stay tuned for more information.

Applicants should review federal rules for additional information on the allowability, reasonableness, and allocability of costs for federal grant awards:

• Section 4303(h) Local Uses of Funds
