Summer Program Grant applications due on February 15, 2025.

Our goal is to fund a robust set of programs that help students continue to reengage with school socially, emotionally, and academically. Priorities include continued care and connection for students who experienced barriers to learning; academic and credit recovery; and project-based learning opportunities designed to boost career and college readiness.

Requests may range from $1,000-$30,000. Any employee of the school district may apply, but proposals must receive approval by a school administrator prior to submission.

Deadline for application: February 15. Funding decisions announced in early April.

Applicants should provide a description of how students will benefit from the program, including:

  • Number of students the program will serve
  • Anticipated educational outcomes
  • A brief outline of how you intend to recruit high priority students
  • A detailed budget for staffing and other expenses involved in implementation

Priority will be given to requests that show one or more of the following:

  • Promise for increasing student achievement and graduation rates
  • Project-based learning opportunities designed to boost career and college readiness
  • Care and connection for students navigating financial insecurity or experiencing other barriers to learning
  • Promise for building social and emotional skills
