ESSER Application for Funds


Instructions for Accessing the ESSER Application

The application access is through the Identity Management (IdM) system, the same logon and password system used for Data Pipeline and UIP.

  • A good first step, if you have used IdM before, is to check with your District Local Assess Management (LAM) Group to grant you access to the ESSERAPP application.
  • If you haven't used the IdM system before or are having trouble logging in with it, please use this access assistance form to find your district's LAM Group.
  • If you have used IdM before and have confirmed you have access to the ESSER application, please contact us at esserapplications@cde.state.co.us for additional technical assistance.

Here are some additional resources to assist you:
