Grant committee confidentially reviews applications.
Applicants must also pursue other funding sources like PTO scholarships, Activities Office and Booster funds for athletic fees, Community Education scholarship funds and Connect Card.
Families are requested to contribute 10% of the total requested amount during the school year.
