* Indicates grant is only partially funded due to remaining
available balance.
Schools can expect to receive their grant check along with an award certificate in the coming weeks. Due to the limited resources available for the program, some applications were not funded. Though worthy, the program’s funds were limited and could not award all of the grant applications received. The enthusiastic and collaborative response to the call for proposals made this year’s program quite competitive once again. Congratulations and best wishes to our winners for a successful implementation of each innovative program!
